Did you use the cap command to list tape capabilities?  Did you run a
fill test to ensure that Bacula can fill up a tape and write on to the
next?  There are several capabilities that are crucial for Bacula.

I runned all the tests which are in the documentation and they completed 
successfully.
What is the 'cap' command you are talking about ... ?

Do all backups fill a tape, or does this occur only when you completely
fill a tape?

it occurs randomly, sometimes after 10go, sometimes at the end, ...

The tape is:

phoenix:/var/backups# cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00
Vendor: SONY     Model: SDX-500C         Rev: 010f
Type:   Sequential-Access                ANSI SCSI revision: 02

and the controller is:

phoenix:/var/backups# cat /proc/scsi/aic7xxx/0
Adaptec AIC7xxx driver version: 6.2.36
Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI adapter
aic7880: Ultra Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=0, 16/253 SCBs
Allocated SCBs: 5, SG List Length: 102

I runned the btape test and it was successfull

What is strange is that I get this message for about one backup on ten
and not with the same tape ... (I thought first that it was a defect
tape ... but no)
