I suspect that you killed it too quicly. It takes some time to reposition 102
GBytes on a tape, and probably 5-10 times longer on FreeBSD, which doesn't
have fast forward space file. This requires Bacula to read every record -- if
you think it is slow, a complaint to the SCSI tape driver writers might
help ...
