If I understand correctly (and just to summarize), Jon, you expected
amtapetype to terminate when the tape was filled to its stated capacity
(stated in the tapetype definition..) the way taper does.  Instead,
amtapetype runs until the OS returns ENOSPC ("No space available") and
then terminates, probably with a pretty accurate description of the
amount of space available on the partition.

Sound about right?
