Dear List, I have labeled a fresh tape which runs fine for now. But after a while it stops working with the error quoted below:
<error>

THis is a DDS3-tape with hardware-compression turned on, so 7 GB of
data should not be the end of the tape. Is this behavouir hardware or
software related?
Currently I have no physical access to the drive to see if the cleaning
tape should be used, indicated by a red light.
Any ideas are helpful.
Best
Stephan
