the tape size is specified as 50Gb, and that's more or less what the "length" parameter in entry says, but it seems to me that it isn't actually possible to write that much data to these tapes. The maximum seems to be closer to 40Gb, actually.

That sounds like hardware compression of already software-compressed data. Are you sure you are not using both? (Or else, are AITs as intelligent as LTOs in not recompressing already compressed data?)

Thanks.
