It fails to write the last block (which is a short block). Then I run:
Oops, I did not read very well (or understood the implications of) this

Thanks for your suggestions in any case and let me know if you have any
others.
What if you use fixed blocks of 32k, instead of variable blocksizes?
There is also an option "file-pad true" in the tapetype section to pad
the last block to your blocksize (at least the option is there in amanda
2.4.4).
Do you run an adr50 successfully?
No. I just remember there were lots of issues with the OnStream
devices. Is there a possibility to update the drive's firmware?
