It's probably not rewound, you're right. Eject and look at it is hard -
there are 50km between me and this tape ;) But I guess it doesn't really
matter since it's too much written for beeing at the end and too few for
beeing at the beginning. No matter where it starts - it should write
until the end and then either rewind (=write another 15GB the next time
I try) or stay there (= writing 0B). At least that's what I suspect if
it acts logically.
