Hello,
I believe handler default is that the OS default is meaning 64 kb on 
Windows, you should choose the size based on your environment, meaning one 
that is compatible between SN, Master servers etc.
You can query the server for what this size is, on the devices properties, 
check under volume tab unber " volume block size" this should be your 
handler default.

[Networker] Block size LTOIV for Windows 32 bit OS






All,

IBM Ultrium 4 tape drive from Dell. Networker 7.4.2 running on Windows 
2003 32 bit. Device driver from Windows resources are correct. Tapes are 
becoming full after around 80GB. The block size set in networker for this 
device is set to handler default! Not sure what this is. Should I hardcode 
to 128K or another block size? Has anyone seen this before?
