Ok, the tape drive reported that it could not put any more data onto the
tape. This is not in itself an error.

Do you have Bacula setup to automatically mount the tape?

I know these errors only from setups where there exists a configuration
problem. Most probably, you need more time for the required tape change.

Actually, it's nearly impossible to measure how much data can fi onto a
tape.
Compression is the main reason, but even if you don't use hardware
compression, tape space can "vanish". Two mai reasons: File marks take
space, and if you write lots of (logical tape) files, the used capacity
will be considerably less than what could fit onto the tape without any
file marks in between. Also, when your tape drive can't stream data but
has to stop, reposition, and start writing again you can lose space.
The latter is especially a problem because this shoe-shining mode also
greatly stresses the tapes and the drive, so you should try a lot to
prevent it. Spooling is the key here.
Anyway, to measure how much data can fit onto a tape you can, for
example, use btaes fill command, or use dd to write lots of data to
tape. When you enable hardware compression, the results won't
necessarily be close to your real-life experience.

Arno thanks for your info, i understand the point that 200GB are a
marketing value not a real value, the data i save in those tapes are mixed:
jpg,gif, databases,binaries, txt, autocad etc.
Searching around, not all the files can be compressed equal, now i know
that 181GB is a real value.
Im using tape compression, what im doing now is cleaning my servers to
delete data that we don't need any more in our servers.
Thanks again for info. See you!!!
