LTO-6 tape drives and partitioning
The LTO-6 tape drive supports up to four tape partitions, when used with LTO
Ultrium-6 cartridges. Tape partitioning is not supported with WORM (Write Once
Read Multiple) cartridges or with earlier generations of cartridge. It is not
supported on earlier-generation tape drives. If you insert a partitioned tape into
a tape drive that does not support partitioning, it will be ejected.
To check for the latest information about support for partitioning and any
required firmware upgrades, refer to the following web sites:

Refer to your backup application's documentation for information about creating
and using partitions on the tape drive.
