I figured out the problem, I was using the SCSI tapetype instead of the
IDE for the STT8000A. Thanks for the fast response Paul and redirecting
my focus on the tape drive, instead of gzip.
What it should be for IDE:
define tapetype STT8000A {
comment "STT8000A Tape Device"
length 3850 mbytes # 4/8 Gig tapes
filemark 0 kbytes # I don't know what this means
speed 505 kbytes
}
Thanks,
