I am infrequently getting tape full conditions at times when I did not expect it. My tapes are DDS-4 tapes and they are considered "Full" by bacula at various capacities, for exampel:

Do you see any error messages in your logs -  either  something  like
this in the bacula messages:

        Error: block.c:538 Write error at 15:15469 on device "SLR60" 
(/dev/nst0). ERR=Input/output error.
        Error: Error writing final EOF to tape. This Volume may not be readable.
        dev.c:1536 ioctl MTWEOF error on "SLR60" (/dev/nst0). ERR=Input/output 
error.

Yes, I received following messages:

and/or something like this in the syslog messages:

        ????: unexpected disconnect
        st0: Error 700ff (sugg. bt 0x0, driver bt 0x0, host bt 0x7).
        ????: unexpected disconnect
        st0: Error 700ff (sugg. bt 0x0, driver bt 0x0, host bt 0x7).
        st0: Error with sense data: <6>st0: Current: sense key: Unit Attention
            Additional sense: Power on, reset, or bus device reset occurred

No, I didn't find any of these messages. However, at the time of the tape full message the attached messages showed up in the syslog. Unfortunately I am not able to digest them into any correctional activity. But at least I understand that some hardware error may be involved.
