OS/390 2.6, TSM 3.7.1, STK4490's. By default IDRC compression is turned off
for all drives.

The devclass for this is:

        DEF DEVC T3490 DEV=CART MOUNTL=2 MOUNTW=1440 MOUNTR=1 COMP=YES UNIT=3490

After several backups a Q VOL only shows that an average of 860M is written
to each tape. The clients are NOT compressing the data. I would think with
IDRC compression on we would be getting more data per tape.

Anybody using these drives and getting better compression/compaction?
