If not I am not sure. Bacula does not directly control the drive. It relies on the OS to tell it that the tape is full. Well actually this process is not even that clear. The streaming tape drive reports a write error when it can not fit a block on the tape. When bacula sees this error it checks that the last block was written successfully and then marks the tape full.
