Is there a size limit to a vtape device?  I've tries specifying tape sizes 
of 25G but the tapes end up only being about 20G in size.  I'm also getting 
error trying to write to the end of the vtape device beyond this ~20G size. 
  This is what the error looks like:

09-May 00:59 server.lordsfam.net JobId 48: Wrote label to prelabeled Volume 
"Monthly-0006" on device "Drive-1" (/var/spool/bacula/drive1)
09-May 00:59 server.lordsfam.net JobId 48: New volume "Monthly-0006" 
mounted on device "Drive-1" (/var/spool/bacula/drive1) at 09-May-2009 00:59.
09-May 01:43 server.lordsfam.net JobId 48: End of Volume "Monthly-0006" at 
19:16300 on device "Drive-1" (/var/spool/bacula/drive1). Write of 64512 
bytes got -1.
09-May 01:43 server.lordsfam.net JobId 48: Error: Error writing final EOF 
to tape. This Volume may not be readable.
dev.c:1723 ioctl MTWEOF error on "Drive-1" (/var/spool/bacula/drive1). 
ERR=No space left on device.
09-May 01:43 server.lordsfam.net JobId 48: End of medium on Volume 
"Monthly-0006" Bytes=21,452,562,432 Blocks=332,535 at 09-May-2009 01:43.

On a different system, configured almost the same, I get the same error 
with the exact same Bytes written out.

If the limit of the vtape device is 21,452,562,432 then I feel this should 
be documented.  This number is just less then 20G (21,474,836,480) by just 
less then 20M.  So I believe even if you specify a Max Volume Bytes of 20G 
you will still get the above error.

Thanks,
