I occasionally see the message:
"\\.\Tapex Block size is 32768 bytes not 65536 bytes. Verify the device
configuration. Tape positioning by record is disabled.


How and why would this happen,  perhaps the tape came from a previous
DLT4000 pool ?  It only happens on some tapes, so I am confident that the
device is setup correctly.

Does the latter part of this message (positioning) mean that a single file
restore cannot be performed ?
