I am seeing this behaviour with truely blank LTOs too.
Try writing 2 EOFs to the start of the tapes and try it again.
No, but bacula needs to detect the tapes are blank, rather than
empty/erased.
Huh. What is the difference?
There is something on the tape which bacula doesn't like when it scans the
start of the tape. Writing an EOF solves the problem but it means tapes
need massaging and can't simply be unwrapped, labelled and stuck in
magazines.
This is an area which clearly needs some work... :-)
Please be a bit more specific.
Testing of what's seen by LTO drives using various brands of blank media
to see if it varies or is consistent.
I'd liken it to the difference between a formatted and an unformatted
floppy disk....
