That looks to be like a tape driver / OS issue. I would get in touch=20
with your hardware vendor to see about updating the drivers or the=20
drive firmware. If you're running Solaris, you shouldn't need an=20
st.conf entry for these drives.

<excerpt>Hi all,

=A0

This problem has been posted before but I don't see any solution and
now I'm facing the same problem. My newly setup NBU5.0 (MP2), L80
(4xHP LTO2). All new tapes (Fujifilm) seem to have problem when come
to end of tape (hit error 84 when reach 250GB on tape).

=A0

Below is the error from bptm=A0:
