Here you hit into EOT.  Could be that you have indeed hardware
and software compression at the same time. See below.

taper: retrying localhost:/home/samba/projekte/Laufende.0 on new tape:
[writing file: No space left on device]
taper: tape met055 kb 17488544 fm 1 writing file: Input/output error
taper: retrying localhost:/home/samba/projekte/Laufende.0 on new tape:
[writing file: Input/output error]
taper: tape met054 kb 0 fm 0 [OK]

But here you get an error on a fresh new tape.
Is the blocksize correct?  Is it indeed a bad tape?  Is the tape
not yet ready, and the program is unpatient?


I disabled the hardware compression with:
mt -f /dev/nst0 compression off

Linux.  Maybe that's not enough.  After USING the tape (e.g.
after "amcheck -s YourConfig"), what does "mt status" say?

Instead of repeating myself over and over on this list, I just
added a link to one of the last times I've tried to explain it:
