Estimate the capacity of the tapes, then go to each drive and change the
'volume default capacity' attribute to be your estimated size.  If
you're using the GUI, this is only in the 'details' page.

When you label new tapes, the capacity will show what you have entered.

This capacity is only used for estimating how full the tape is, so you
don't hurt anything by changing it.
