There were no errors reported as shown in the taper log below. There
is not enough data to fill one tape in the test disklist I was using
but it contain 14 DLEs. I assumed it would use both drives.

Do you have enough data to fill more than one tape?

I've upgraded to version 3.2.0 and have enabled parallel writes to
