The dataset contains some compressed files (like jpg, gz etc) but also a
lot of plain text files. So I guess I should be able to store at least 80GB
of data on one tape and at most 160GB.
Looks like the drive isn't using any compression. I'm using /dev/rmt/0cbn
where
c = compression
b = bsd compatible?
n = no rewind
Besides the compression issue I get MTWEOF error?
