Here is one example:
Assume I have a big backup job running on Friday afternoon, and I
realize it's writing on the last tape in the library; it may take
hours to fill that tape, and I don't want to wait that long. On the
other hand, I don't want to job to stall until Monday when the tape
finally fills up.
If it was possible to signal a "tape full" condition, I could enforce
the insertion of a new magazine.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
