If it is software then it is a problem with your kernel or more specifically the device driver that handles your tape drive. Bacula does not stop recording to a tape unless the kernel reports that it could not successfully write a block or you wrongly specified in your tape drive configuration in bacula that bacula should consider the tape full after a specified # of bytes were written. Also remember that you can only count on the the native size of the tape for how much data will fit compression is never ever guaranteed since you could have already compressed files which can not compress again..
