IRL there probably would be because you're probably not going to write
out an entire 2.5TB LTO-6 tape at once. If you were spooling an entire
tape, then you'd be writing an entire 2.5TB spool partition. Then the
question is would the drive's firmware spread the writes over OS
partition boundaries...
