LTO 8 tape showing not appendable, only 6mb of data written.

I´ve added an new Tape Autoloader, and for some reason its now showing one tape with only 6MB used data and set it to "Media Set" Internalt Disk Images and "Overwrite Protected Until" Infinite - Do not overwrite and "Appendable Until" Not appendable. Why is this? and why cant I see what data is on that tape?

thanks for helping

Best Regards

Daniel

    1) Check which job used that tape last.

    2) If it is not the last tape of a set, then I think it is safe to reuse it by moving it to the scratch media set.
