We have seen this when the tape drive  and/or tape cart are failing. Do =
you see the cleaning light on the tape drive. With the dlt7000 the =
cleaning light came on when the drive had an ioerror. Cleaning may or =
may not clear up the problem. I believe that most of the time cleaning =
does not clear up the problem.=20
The ce can check the error logs in the drive and let you know if =
multiple tapes are having the same problem.

  We have an ATL P3000 library with 5 DLT drives.  Just recently, =
backups that happen to land on two particular drives among the five seem =
to run much more slowly than expected. Anyone else seen anything like =
this, please, and can suggest a remedy?
