Don't try to force the tape out.  I got one stuck and was told I could
seriously damage the tape by forcing it out.  Your tape vendor should be
able to unstick it for you.

I'd suspect a drive fault before a tape fault on this.

We are using Quantum SDLT drives in our L180 library. Using Quantum tapes we
seem to have a bunch that get stuck in the drive, dowing the drive. The tape
loads but won't get any further, the scsi bus times out and NetBackup downs
the drive. Does anybody have this problem? Are some tape brands better than
others? Any ideas?

TIA,
Gus Diaz
