I would be grateful if anybody can forward me the
tapetype definition for an HP Ultrium 960 LTO3 tape
device (external). The SCSI controller used is an HP
374654-B21 - 64-bit Single Channel Wide Ultra320 SCSI
This is what I use for my LTO3 drives:
define tapetype LTO3comp {
# All values guesswork :) jlb, 8/31/05
# except blocksize ;) jlb, 9/15/05
length 420000 mbytes
blocksize 2048
filemark 5577 kbytes
speed 60000 kps
}
Note the comments. I've got hardware compression on, but I also use
software compression (NOTE: do not try this on non-LTO tape drives) and
the rest of my data isn't that compressible.
Controller. Basically, on what factors does the
tapetype deifintion depend? Else if I need to give the
amtapetype command is the command "amtapetype -t
/dev/nst0" sufficient? Or do I need to specify
additional arguments to the command? How much time
will this command take?
'man amtapetype', specifically the -e option (and -b).
