I'm trying to understand how much these tapes and/or the device can be considered good products.
I have many installation with this hardware.
I often come out with errors during the night, suggesting that the tape is invalid.
A "btape" readlabel during this situation gives I/O errors
Then, in the morning, I ask the operator to eject the tape and reinsert.
A "btape" readlabel now gives the correct label.
The "/var/adm/messages" shows these errors during the failed backup night:

Thanx
