When writing data to a tape image file it would be convenient if appending data was supported.
The specified file must exist.
If the initial file size is less than the block size of the tape device the file shall be padded to the required size.
The respective property shall be "device.X.append=MAXIMUM_FILE_SIZE". When data are appended it shall be ensured that the maximum file size specified is not exceeded. A size of 0 (the default) means not to append.
