Hello - I have a Quantum DLT7000 drive, and I'm wondering how I go
about disabling hardware compression on it.  I did some searching, and
it seems that I should be able to issue this command:

lpdlnx00 LPD # mt -f /dev/nst0 compression 0
/dev/nst0: Input/output error

I don't have experience with a DLT7000 drive, but I guess the
kosher way to accomplish what you want is by modifying /etc/stinit.def
maybe followed by a reload of the scsitape kernel module.

Search Google for:

    squared kosher amanda compression

you may even hit the "lucky" button!

You'll be directed to this article, which contains some information:

PS. I knew I once would direct people to this search!
