Error

Symptoms

The archiver tape is marked complete.

Cause

Solution

There are two reasons why the archiver will mark the tape complete.

1. The remaining freespace is below the threshold setting about (5%) of the partition capacity usage.

2. There is a hard read or write error.

Note: Getting WinError==1165 (cleaning required) will NOT cause a tape to be completed. However, getting "cleaning required" errors is probably a sure precursor to getting a hard read/write error on that drive.
