Some drives- including Exabytes- can come up in fixed block mode as the default. It's a property of the drive, not the tape.

Er, so you (or more likely the tape driver) puts it into variable length block mode? If it hurts the other way, don't do it that way?

Yes. And hunt around for f/w to try and flash into the device or do a mode select with "SAVE PARAMETERS" to force it the way you like. See the mfg's manual. Good luck. Come back with your P cable in hand or around your neck. Don't leave it on the battlefield.....urp... I should really take the weekend off..
