Hello,

we are using a Tandberg Autochanger with LTO3 tapes (400/800GB).

After Bacula reported the VolStatus "Full" after just saving about 260 GB,
we checked the output of demsg an found the following:

We found a posting that suggested to define 

Maximum Block Size = 65536
Maximum Network Buffer Size = 65536

in bacula-sd.conf.

But although we didn't forget to restart the Storage Daemon, the error
appaers again and the only about 260 GB are used.

Is this a problem of Bacula or of the st0 driver.

Thanks for any suggestions or hints,

Stefan
