I had some problems with my LTO3 device and tapes
Sometimes tape where marked as FULL whereas I was just at the
beggining or half of the tape.
First my LTO drive was on an iSCSI share with a dummy iSCSI
implementation ( drive was shared between 2 machines )
Also I had I/O problem that made my local hard drive slower than my
LTO tape so my tape drive was often stopping and waiting for data.
Once I solved theses 2 problems, everything worked fine.

I erased my tapes with an "mt -f /dev/nst0 erase"  after having
stopped bacula-sd and freed all iscsi layers
