I followed those steps but found no difference. Running btape with -d 999
shows this curious message:
btape: dev.c:655 rewind_dev fd=3 "LTO-A" (/dev/st0)
btape: record.c:213 write_record_to_block() FI=0 SessId=0 Strm=0 len=64412
rem=64488 remainder=0
btape: block.c:430 binbuf=64448 buf_len=64512
btape: block.c:816 Cannot get free space on the device ERR=.
btape: message.c:993 Enter Jmsg type=3
btape: message.c:565 Enter dispatch_msg type=3 msg=btape: btape Fatal error:
End of Volume "" at 0:0 on device "LTO-A" (/dev/st0) (part_size=0,
free_space=0, free_space_errno=0, errmsg=).
I note that line 816 in block.c is within the function
do_dvd_size_checks()... Does it think this tape is a DVD?

There is a tape testing chapter in the manual (use the development manual),
which gives if I remember right 9 steps for diagnosing tape problems ...
