My most recent job failed with the following errors:

02-Feb 12:24 Scalar-i40 JobId 123: Committing spooled data to Volume "000012". Despooling 577,083,278,824 bytes ... 02-Feb 12:24 Scalar-i40 JobId 123: Error: block.c:608 Write error at 2744:0 on device "Drive0" (/dev/st1). ERR=No such device or address. 02-Feb 12:24 Scalar-i40 JobId 123: Error: Error writing final EOF to tape. This Volume may not be readable.
dev.c:1566 ioctl MTWEOF error on "Drive0" (/dev/st1). ERR=No such device.

So I reran the job on a new tape, and received the same error about failing to write the End of File.

07-Feb 14:27 Scalar-i40 JobId 137: Committing spooled data to Volume "000014". Despooling 577,083,278,824 bytes ... 07-Feb 14:27 Scalar-i40 JobId 137: Error: block.c:608 Write error at 172:0 on device "Drive0" (/dev/st1).

So the error does not seem to be tied to bad media. The system did pass the span tapes test when setup, and has spanned a dozen or so other volumes without error. The Bacula-Users archive indicates that this might be hardware failure, but the drives still pass the Quantum Scalar internal tests for function. (These are HP Ultrium 6-SCSI drives), so the vendor, at least, does not think they are failing.

Any ideas as to the cause if this error? The log indicates a a HW problem so I don't think my config could be causing this.
