Following up on myself here....
If I change conf above to comment out Fast Forward Space File = No then
btape fill succeeds.
Note that previously I'd read in bacula btape docs:
"When I set Hardware End of Medium = no and Fast Forward Space File =
no file positioning was very slow on my LTO-3 (about ten to 100
minutes), but
with Hardware End of Medium = no and Fast Forward Space File = yes, the
time is ten to 100 times faster (about one to two minutes). "
I'm using LTO-2 drive but had waited 3-4 hours w/the Fast Forward Space
File = No setting so figured, perhaps mistakenly, that that should have
been enough??
