I'm not saying that every tape is bad.   I have over a hundred that are working just fine.   Seems just the recent ones (ones purchased in the past 1-2 months about 20 tapes) are kind of flaky.   when I hit the old batch of tapes they work just fine.    So far only 2 tapes have produced media errors but those two tapes are out of the same batch of ~20 that are all under-performing.

I would investigate the cause of this problem. I highly doubt every
tape is bad. I have never seen this (no bad tapes in 90+) with LTO2
media and any brand including Fuji. Check for scsi errors in your
dmesg,

John
