Hi,

I have a problem with a new lto-4 tape. Only 411 GB were written on it, then
bacula detected an write error. 

JobId 9250: Error: block.c:568 Write error at 411:14724 on device 
"ULTRIUM-TD4-D2"
            (/dev/ULTRIUM-TD4-D2).  ERR=Eingabe-/Ausgabefehler.
JobId 9250: Error: Re-read of last block OK, but block numbers differ.
             Last block=32305463 Current block=32307189.
JobId 9250: End of medium on Volume "A00151L4" Bytes=411,923,570,688
            Blocks=6,385,223 at 03-Feb-2009 20:44.


And at the same time in the kernel log:

kernel: sense key: Medium Error
kernel:     Additional sense: Write error
kernel: Info fld=0xfc00

No doubt there was a problem. The big question is: will this be a problem
during a restore? bacula changed the tape and continued but didn't mark
the tape as faulty.

The job is still running and will backup 9 TB. Any idea how to test the tape?
Which of the b* tools would be the right one for this?
