bsdtar doesn't detect end of tape

[Oliver Lehmann]

Hi,

I can store more files on tape with bsdtar than I'm able to read back.

root at nudel dds2> tar -c -b 64 -v -f /dev/sa3 .
[writes more files than the tape can handle - w/o an error!!]
root at nudel dds2> tar -x -b 64 -v -f /dev/sa3
[...]
x nudel/pics/selftreffen_2001.tar.bz2
x nudel/pics/selftreffen_2002.tar.bz2: (null)
tar: (null)
Exit 1
root at nudel dds2> 

It's not a tape error, it's reproduceable. With gtar i get an "tar, wrote
only 0 bytes out of..." or sth. during the write to tape.
