I have searched the list archives and don't see a way (using GNU mt 2.4.2) to permanently disable hardware compression. I thought I had seen a post on it fairly recently, but I didn't find it with my search. I see the mt option defcompression, but that apparently isn't supported in my version of mt.

There seem to be a few different versions of mt, with slightly different syntax. Mine uses `mt datcompression 0', other, as you say, `defcompression', and there also seems to be a version that uses plain `compression'.

You are on Linux, or something else?
