And check the file st.init, where the letters get their meaning.
Paul, I'm unfamiliar with the file st.init.
Nor do I find one on my system.
Did you mean the st.conf file in /kernel/drv?
Yes, that's what I mean. (I mixed up Linux /etc/stinit.def and
Solaris /kernel/drv/st.conf apparently.)
If the st.conf file, I don't find an entries for any lto's I
recognize. One poster said it was "builtin" to the driver,
another said they had to edit the file and add an entry.
Yes, some are built-in into the driver. Non-builtin can be
defined in this file. At least, that's what I did to get
my Sony AIT-1 tape drive working on Solaris without compresssion.
The drive docs would probably still be needed to interpret
the entry.
You need some numbers to fill in, and I got those from a webpage
by the manufacturer of my drive (Sony).
Without the numbers, the drive did work, but it would always
have hardware compression on (or always off, if I switched the
dip-switch in the drive). With the correct numbers, I can control
the hw-compression by using the appropriate letter /dev/rmt/0c.
