What does that mean?
The tape is in fixed 512 bytes block, this is bad.
it should be in variable block size.
Do I have to relabel tapes with amanda 3.3.5 or edit my tapetype?
All tapes written with a blocksize smaller than 32K must be rewritten.
They probably needs to be erased before relabeling with a different
block size.
