Re: AW: Question: does this DLT Drive work?

I'm using debian stable, and when my amanda server boots up my tapedrive is detected as /dev/st0 (and /dev/nst0). Do you still have theold DAT drive connected? Does the scsi interface detect the hardware?Should be mesages in dmesg.

I use this in an Overland Data Loaderexpress, and it works fine.

I got the tape type off the amanda.org pages.

In my case the tape library has an interface to enable or disablecompression. If you have a standalone tape drive I'm not sure how youdo it.


this the tape type I'm using :

define tapetype SDLT320 {
     comment "SDLT 320 drive in OverLand Storage Neo 2000 Library"
     length 154753 mbytes
     filemark 28 kbytes
     speed 2349 kps
}

Quantum DLT V4 320 U2W (160GB uncompressed - 320GB compressed)

Does this drive work good with amanda?

How do i have to set it up in amanda.conf?

How do i activate the compression of the drive to get the full 230GB?

Thanks for the Help!

Regards Sebastian
