We had similar problem in our environment which consists of EDL, Cisco MDS and 
Networker 7.4.2. We had SCSI error, I/O bus was reset in daemon.raw of the 
networker server. When the bus resets the tape got end of marker, thus marked 
as FULL even though only 10GB had been written.

In our case it turned out to be a gbic on the MDS. When it was replaced the 
problem was solved.

Thanks for your reply

I am not sure about that.
I have started managing the networker recently.

The properties tab have following information

Auto clean : enabled 
Cleaning slot : 122
Default cleaning : 50

Is it ok if i'll change the mode back to "appendable" manually ?
