Hi John,

do you recall the bscan syntax you used for the import? It's a 400G
medium so I'd like to get it right the first time ;-) 

Would it be possible to simply copy the entire tape to disk using 

cp /dev/nst0 /mnt/raid/OFFLINE01 

and then work with the OFFLINE01 file for faster access? 

All the best & thanks again for your help, 

Uwe
