Hi,

I have a HP 1760 SAS LTO-4 drive with an LSI 9212 hba under Ubuntu 
10.04, Bacula 5.0.3.

The drive is set for variable blocks.  I cannot get any block size above 
64K to work. 64K works just fine.  Any ideas?

Btape says (using 256K block):

btape: btape.c:1148 Wrote 10000 blocks of 262044 bytes.
btape: btape.c:608 Wrote 1 EOF to "Tape" (/dev/nst0)
btape: btape.c:1164 Wrote 10000 blocks of 262044 bytes.
btape: btape.c:608 Wrote 1 EOF to "Tape" (/dev/nst0)
btape: btape.c:1206 Rewind OK.
Got EOF on tape.
btape: btape.c:1224 Read block 3815 failed! ERR=Success
