Re: [Bacula-users] Error writing final EOF to tape LTO-5

The errors below are just straight I/O errors from the underlying 
device.  Nothing to do with Bacula.  So check if those two tapes are 
bad.  Check if that drive needs cleaning.  Run drive diagnostics on that 
drive.  See if you can reproduce the problem with just, say, tar of some 
files to a known-good tape in that drive.  If you can reproduce the 
problem, open a ticket with Dell.
