sorry did not see this mail until now And sorry about the missleading LTO5 in my first toppic. We use LTO6 on the bareos Server.
i have configured the max blocksize in the device section of my tape drives. At the moment i have switched back to the default values and moved all written tapes to a new pool with the 1M blocksize. HPs documentation about the LTO6 drives says, that you should not go after 256 KB blocksize (https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E38452_01/en/LTO6_Vol5_E1/LTO6_Vol5_E1.pdf). Saddly my Drives are IBM and I can not find writings from IBM about this. Maybe there is something going on at the hardware on some drives and a btape fill will rise errors (sometimes) where btape test does not. I will schedule a btape fill for tomorrow morning with the big blocksize to test this.
