Hi, I'm confused here about device modes, and we don't appear to be getting proper compression on actual backups: Can someone tell me what dev/nst0a, nst0l and nst0m do? I've read the man page for st

Thanks, Darren, This was helpful. After a few more backups (no configuration changes), things are looking up. We had one tape fill up at 372 GB and two others at 440 and 445 GB respectively, so I gue

No, I don't think so. That's the output I always see, so I just assume that it's a reporting difference. One utility calls the first slot 0, one calls it 1. It's still the first slot. I don't think

After reading the man page for stinit more carefully, it does state that the mode for the stinit.def file must be 1-4, so apparently, even though the stinit program itself, when run as stinit -v -v,

Probably. I'm not a linux expert (more Solaris), so the idea of defining compression with mt surprises me, but it seems consistent. I suppose. I've never tried to disable compression for networker's
