My default chunk size is CHUNKSIZE 1048576.

How do the tapers write the chunks that are on the holding disk? Does it
combine them into one file before writing or does it concatenate the chunks
on the fly. Or what kind of magic does it do to get the data to tape.

Does this process slow down the streaming of the data to tapes? I have a
large holding disk, would I benefit from larger chunksize?


Thanks

Robert
