We've seen it and it appears to be the drive itself (LTO-1/Ultrium).
FYI: This corrupts the backup so when you try to restore later it will
give you messages about bad tar headers. Do NOT rely on this backup
even if you later see 0 exit status.
We even had one drive that it appeared it corrupted EXISTING backups on
a tape when it mounted it and experienced this issue. It appears the
vendor actually sent the drive back to us without correcting this
behavior so we had to send it back. We now record the Serial Number and
problem for all drives we send back so we'll know if we get a
refurbished drive back later and experience the same problem we'll be
able to gig the support vendor.
