160mXL 8mm tapes = 24Gb?



Running Sparc Linux with a Exabyte 8mm Tape drive using 160mXL 8mm tapes.

I think I am going insane, but I thought 8mm did 12/24Gb. Yet, I am able only
to get around 2Gb on the tape before it gives me a write error.

Just wanted to make sure my capacity is right on the tapes before I look else
where.
