Yes and no

If the tape has been closed properly then Yes, if it hasnt the first thing the 
drive is going to do is to pass over the entire tape to get the end-marker 
position out of the tape which can take way more than 5 minutes and really isnt 
an error state.  

And to my knowledge there is no way to detect it other than to wait
