[Veritas-bu] LTO-4 on Linux

Folks,

Has anybody out there configured LTO-4 drives on Linux Red Hat ES 4? I recently swapped out a pair of LTO-2 drives for LTO-4 drives on a v5.1 Media Server and have seen no throughput performance improvement. I did the same test on a Windows 2003 Server using the same data and saw significant improvement, but the Windows OS has a specific driver for the LTO-4. Linux uses the mt driver, but I can’t see anything on the web specifically about tuning the mt driver for LTO-4.

Regards,
