I would say that is suspicious. It is normal, if you are using
compression, to see varying amounts of data (even amounts smaller than
the native capacity). In this case, though, it almost sounds like there
is some sort of problem (not rewinding or something like that). You're
sure these tapes have gone through a Used and then Recycled state? I'm
assuming you've done the btape tests prior to using this device?
