This is incorrect behavior (i.e. you should not get the MTWEOF error). It will *probably* work, but I wouldn't run my tape drive this way. It looks like Bacula is not seeing the logical end of tape marker, but is writing right to the physical end of the tape (very bad). Also, on a modern tape drive, Bacula should be backing up and re-reading the last record written, but it looks like you disabled that. Your tape drive modes are probably not set correctly -- could be either or both of the Bacula Device specification or the modes set by mt. Sorry, I cannot help any more than that.
