Hi,

I've git a DLT VS80i from HP. Writing 64k blocks with default blocksize 
set via mt command works quite well, but when trying label amanda tapes it 
seems to insist on using 32k block size for writing. The kernel reports

st0: Incorrect block size.
st0: Write not multiple of tape block size.

Is there any switch in the amanda configuration or may I just have to 
recompile amanda ? The guys from HP told me that the Tape drive needs the 
64k blocksize.

Thanks in advance
