I runned the btape cap :

phoenix:/etc/bacula# btape /dev/st0
Tape block granularity is 1024 bytes.
btape: butil.c:258 Using device: "/dev/st0" for writing.
btape: btape.c:335 open_dev /dev/st0 OK
*cap
Configured device capabilities:
EOF BSR BSF FSR FSF FASTFSF !BSFATEOM EOM REM !RACCESS !AUTOMOUNT !LABEL !ANONVOLS ALWAYSOPEN
Device status:
OPENED TAPE !LABEL MALLOC APPEND !READ !EOT !WEOT !EOF !NEXTVOL !SHORT
Device parameters:
Device name: /dev/st0
File=0 block=0
Min block=0 Max block=0
Status:
Bacula status: file=0 block=0
Device status: BOT ONLINE IM_REP_EN file=0 block=0
btape: btape.c:1707 Device status: 645. ERR=

I think it's going to require more information to isolate it.  Have you
used the drive with other software and verified that it works properly?

it worked fine with Amanda. I didn't tried with other softwares ...

Did you use the cap command to list tape capabilities?  Did you run a
fill test to ensure that Bacula can fill up a tape and write on to the

I runned all the tests which are in the documentation and they completed
successfully.
What is the 'cap' command you are talking about ... ?

Run btape, and type 'help'.  It'll show you all the commands, including
this one:

 cap        list device capabilities

Do all backups fill a tape, or does this occur only when you completely
fill a tape?
it occurs randomly, sometimes after 10go, sometimes at the end, ...
