Many thanks for the data point! When we use Bacula (not just btape) with
larger block sizes (512 KB), our backups abort when bacula fails to read the
tape's header block.

I notice you have IBM drives. Maybe the block size limitation (for some
reason or other) shows just up on HP drives? Our prior IBM LTO-4 drives also
worked quite nicely with larger blocks.

Best,
  Andreas
