/* Partition the tape into two partitions if size > 0 or one partition if
   size == 0.

   The block descriptors are read and written because Sony SDT-7000 does not
   work without this (suggestion from Michael Schaefer <Michael.Schaefer@dlr.de>).

   My HP C1533A drive returns only one partition size field. This is used to
   set the size of partition 1. There is no size field for the default partition.
   Michael Schaefer's Sony SDT-7000 returns two descriptors and the second is
   used to set the size of partition 1 (this is what the SCSI-3 standard specifies).
   The following algorithm is used to accommodate both drives: if the number of
   partition size fields is greater than the maximum number of additional partitions
   in the mode page, the second field is used. Otherwise the first field is used.

   For Seagate DDS drives the page length must be 8 when no partitions is defined
   and 10 when 1 partition is defined (information from Eric Lee Green). This is
   is acceptable also to some other old drives and enforced if the first partition
   size field is used for the first additional partition size.
