Steve, you're probably right. Hell, I don't even use DLT, I use AIT-2, but
the principle's the same. This may not sound logical, but I sleep better
at night, nowing I have the greatest amount of validation going on for
each tape cartridge that's used. Even my under powered Sun E450 doesn't
spend a heck of a lot of time processing AMV requests so I really have no
compelling reason to disable AMV.
