[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup] tape: wait for calibration of LTO-9 tapes

[Dominik Csapak]

Since LTO-9, initial loading of tapes into a drive can block up to 2
hours according to the spec. In case we run into a ready check timeout,
query the drive, and increase the timeout to 2 hours and 5 minutes if
it's calibrating (5 minutes headroom).
