here is the corresponding output of dmesg:

[    7.806343] st 3:0:1:0: Attached scsi tape st0
[    7.806345] st 3:0:1:0: st0: try direct i/o: yes (alignment 512 B)
[ 3295.705344] st0: Block limits 1 - 16777215 bytes.
[ 3299.906724] st0: Failed to read 65536 byte block with 64512 byte transfer.
[ 3856.794626] st0: Failed to read 65536 byte block with 64512 byte transfer.
[ 4027.852762] st0: Failed to read 65536 byte block with 64512 byte transfer.
[ 4173.406028] st0: Failed to read 65536 byte block with 64512 byte transfer.

And, yes, we already tried it with a brand new tape - same result.
