If you have a look at one of the volumes that is marked prematurely full,
you may see savesets marked as "abort suspect" this is usually an good
indication that an hardware error has occurred somewhere. You can then
check through the logs to determine exactly what error occurred and
troubleshoot it from there.

Re: [Networker] Not all tapes are fully used
Nico,
Networker will flag a tape as full if it has a write error on that tape.
It doesn't matter what caused the write error (physically reached end of
tape, dirty drive, lumpy power supply, SCSI resets, etc.) Networker's
response is to mark the tape as Full and move on.
As you're getting quite a few of these you may wish to try a bit of
investigating yourself (were the tapes written on the same drive? Are
there any messages in the system log that correspond to the time that
the tapes were marked full? If connected via fabric, any messages on the
switch?)sort of thing. Try to find out if it is tape drive, connection
or media related.
Whether you crack it or not, you'll know a little more about your setup
than when you started (and that's no bad thing) :)
Regards
Bob
