Did you try cleaning the tape drive, if not I would call and have the drve
replaced. That behavior indicates a bad tape or bad tape drive.

Subject: [Networker] Networker keeps marking tapes prematurely as full at 0%
usage?
Hi,
We have a problem with Networker 7.6.1 running on Windows Server 2003 32-
bit. Jobs not requiring new or recyclable tapes run just fine, but any job
that tries to take into use a new tape or a tape in recyclable mode, fails
immediately after trying to start to write data on the tape ("Media notice:
NetWorker media: (Warning) XYZ123 marked full prematurely. Verify possible
error on the device \\.\Tape0, advertised capacity is 800 GB marked full at
0 KB".
I have tried with brand new tapes, recycling/re-labeling old tapes, updated
drivers for both of our IBM TD4 Ultrium4 drives inside the StorageTek SL-500
library, tried with both drives Tape0 and Tape1, no difference what so ever.
I'm stunned on where to proceed next, I will try to haunt for firmware
upgrades on the drives but doubt that'll help any.
Any suggestions are gladly accepted!
Thanks,
Kimmo
