[stgt] VTL tape not working

[Albert Pauw]

Hi Tomo,

it works now, thanks.

Just one more thing, using tgtimg I can set the size of the tape.
However, there is no limit writing to it. Some backup software actually 
relies on
the tape reaching the end of the tape before trying to get another tape 
from the library.

Shouldn't the ssc_bs return an EOT at the size previously set with tgtim?

Thanks again,

Albert
