SYNOPSIS
       amtapetype  [-h]  [-c]  [-b  blocksize]  [-e  estsize] [-f
       tapedev] [-t typename]

Hmm, the only option that sounds like it could speed up the process
is blocksize. Does anyone know a good value for this? 

Is the test faster the bigger I choose this value? (so 1 would take
about 1 GB)

Thanks in advance,
