     This bug is present since 2004 and nobody noticed it.  I guess that
     means there aren't many people out there actually partitioning their
     tape drives...
FYI: we use cygwin tar on a daily base to backup one server to
LTO2-tapes, but I have never partitioned a tape. Wasn't even aware it
could be done.

Partitioning was first introduced on LTO with LTO-5, accommodating LTFS.
