The tapes themselves are named "tape#<currentTimeMillis>tape<currentTimeMillis>.tar"
When an outputstream is opened to a blob, the global write lock is acquired by this thread. As Fedora does not tell the blob how much data it is going to write, the outputstream will buffer the written data until the stream is closed.
