The method `tar' uses to detect end of tape is not perfect, and
fails on some operating systems or on some devices. You can use the
`--tape-length=1024-SIZE' (`-L 1024-SIZE') option if `tar' can't detect
the end of the tape itself. This option selects `--multi-volume'
(`-M') automatically. The SIZE argument should then be the usable size
of the tape. But for many devices, and floppy disks in particular,
this option is never required for real, as far as we know.
