I found this in my logs from the weekend:

It seems that tape 010248 and 010049 is causing me problems. I'm pretty sure
it's not the drive as the drives are working given the number of tapes that
go through this device, and that 010049 is in fact spanning different
drives.

Does this mean these tapes are damaged? I just got these tapes last week.
