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>

At this point I thought "DDS tape for sure!"

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.
You can use the tapeinfo program to report the drive's status, and with
any drive from the last few years (say, since about 1996 :-) that should
give you the proper status. "Tape Alert" is the keyword you're looking for.
Any ideas are helpful.
Replace the cartridge. Clean the drive. Hold your thumbs :-)
