I believe the only way that can happen (if you are in the correct tape density mode) is that you set the Maximum Volume Size parameter in bacula. Remember that bacula does not talk directly to tape drives or care about what tape sizes they support. It relies on the OS support for your drive and the mt / mtx commands. Bacula keeps writing data to a tape until it hits an error. When it hits the error it checks if the last block was successfully written. At this point the tape is marked full.
