Re: [Networker] Using stinit under Linux to set block size

Scott,

Blocksize set to 0.  Linux man pages stucnk on information about tapes.  I
still have not found what the four device labels correspond to.

Shelley

# cat /etc/stinit.def
manufacturer=SONY model="SDX-500C" {
scsi2logical=1 can-bsr auto-lock
mode1 blocksize=0 density=0x0           # 8500 density compressing
mode2 blocksize=0 density=0x0           # 8500 density no compression
mode3 blocksize=0 density=0x0           # 8200 density, compression
mode4 blocksize=0 density=0x0           # 8200 density, no compression
}

manufacturer=SONY model="SDX-700C" {
scsi2logical=1 can-bsr auto-lock
mode1 blocksize=0 density=0x0           # 8500 density compressing
mode2 blocksize=0 density=0x0           # 8500 density no compression
mode3 blocksize=0 density=0x0           # 8200 density, compression
mode4 blocksize=0 density=0x0           # 8200 density, no compression
}
