Hello,

are your tapes marked full (even if they are not) ?.

Networker puts a tape in a full state when it detects an I/O error (due to media
error, drive error...).

You can clone (or stage) the tape in order to verify if it is readable.

After, you can relabel the tape then try to fill it using the same drive...

Cheers.
