Have no options. I recommended this soft/hardware to the project, so it
must (finally) works.

I take this into accout. But on the other hand: all device options were
suggested by 'btape test'. Obviously it is not an oracle, but...
Talking about definition - here is a part of bacula-sd.conf related to
this DD (damn drive):
Device {
Name = "Dev:TS3310-drv0"
Device Type = tape
Media Type = LTO-3
Archive Device = /dev/IBMtape0n
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
# Block positioning = no;
Hardware End of Medium = No
Fast Forward Space File = No
BSF at EOM = yes
TWO EOF = Yes
Autochanger = yes;
Drive Index = 0;
}

This is also not an option. Hardware was already bought, and I could
hardly explain why another buys are needed.
