Hi all,

I have a tape which was marked full at 50% of its capacity due to a scsi
error. Bacula got a write error, assumed that the tape cannot take any
more and marked it as full. bls showed no apparent problem with the
tape. Can I mark the tape as appendable (from full) and continue filling
it? Wonder whether anyone has done this in the past. 

Regards,
