It is still busy,almost 6 days now



 From these numbers I can see you are using an old version of tapetype.
The newer version is much faster (it writes only about 100 files in the
first pass to fill the tape).

Attached is a patched version (not official, based on the fast 4.2.3b3)
that detects compressed tape drives, and gives an estimate after a few
minutes how long it will take for the total run (so you can plan to
go fishing if you like).

Hi I got this
[root@ais-back01 tape-src]# ./tapetype -e 40960 -f /dev/nst0 -t

Ooops.
Your estimate is missing the units (kbytes default). Try:

   ./tapetye -e 40g -f /dev/nst0 -t tandberg_VS80

tandberg_VS80
Estimate phase 1...
Estimate phase 2...
Estimated time to write 2 * 40 Mbyte: 45 sec = 0 h 0 min
wrote 1692 32kb blocks in 152 files

Should it be writing 32kb blocks ?
Looks like it is going on again
