You are correct about how to enable/disable compression
on the drives.  Once a tape has been formatted with or without
compression, the format will remain the same until the tape is
full.  So when you turn on compression with the
FORMAT=DRIVE (synonym for FORMAT=3590C) it will only
take effect on new/empty tapes.
