Hi,

I have just run tapetype for the above drive - it looks like this.

./tapetype -f /dev/nst0
wrote 530067 32kb blocks in 1621 files in 7441 seconds (short write)
wrote 530076 32kb blocks in 3252 files in 7408 seconds (short write)

define tapetype unknown-tapetype {
    comment "just produced by tapetype program"
    length 16564 mbytes
    filemark 0 kbytes
    speed 2284 kps
}

I have used a 150m DG4-150 Fujifilm 4mm tape.

I presume I just include this code in the amanda.conf file.

One question I need help on - does it matter that the tapetype is un-known -
or can I just include it like this:-

define tapetype PV100T-DDS4 {
    comment "PowerVault 100T DDS4"
    length 16564 mbytes
    filemark 0 kbytes
    speed 2284 kps
}

Thanks in advance

Kevin Passey
