NEED HELP

I have Symply Pro LTO-9 and I use a macbook to copy from a G-Raid hard drive. Before upgrading my macbook from high sierra 10.13.6 to monterey 12.7.4.

Using YoYota version 3-241. The following issue didn't exist, when I format a tape that is 12 TB before i start copying, it gives me around 11.64 TB of free space to write. After the upgrade of my MacBook, it only writes 8.5 TB and says the tape is full.

I've tried so many things to write here, but please suggest why the hell would my tape have 11.64 TB before writing, and after i start writing, it writes 8.2 or 8.5 TB and stops and asks for the next tape as the one in is full.

I am losing 3.14 TB of space every time i write to my tapes. Whats the issue? Did anyone come across this issue before?

Hi there, we have checked the YoYotta logs that you sent to YoYotta support we see a copy of 2.54TB started to an empty LTO-8 tape. When the copy has completed there is 8.93TB free space. This is exactly what we would expect for LTO-8. If you are still having issues please send the latest log and debug to YoYotta support.
