Hello,

I've configured bacula without block size settings,
so the default of 63k (126 * 512) are used.

Now i like to change the default block size to 128k.
Hardware is 2 drive LTO-4 auto changer.

Device {
  Name = Drive-1
  Drive Index = 0
  Media Type = LTO-4
  Archive Device = /dev/nst0
  AutomaticMount = yes
  AlwaysOpen = yes
  RemovableMedia = yes
  RandomAccess = no
  Autochanger = yes
  ...
  Minimum block size = 63K
  Maximum block size = 128K
}

Anyone tried this?

I am concerned about old tapes having 63K block size,
are they still readable/usable by bacula?


Thanks
Ulrich
