compression,
thats the question.
hi to all carbon-units out there by the way.
(and sorry for my english)
i dont really understand the thing with the hardware
compression and how to handle it.
i have a (hp c1537a dds3 125m 4mm) tapedrive
that can hold 12 gig uncompressed and says that it can
compress up to 24. i think you know it all.
my thougts was, hey, let the hardware do the compression
so your system is not under such a heavy load.
if i understand it right, the uncompressed data goes to the tape,
and the electronic in the tape do compress it.
but does the tapedrive do any response to the system, at what level
the data is compressed?
when i send 12 gig to the tape and the tape compress it down to
8, how do i know that there is another 4 gigs free on the tape?
or is it a question of trying it out?
what does amanda do when it has send 12 gig to the tape (uncompressed)?
will it stop? does it reads the tapelenght parameter? shall i manipulate
the
tapelenght so that amada thinks the tape is longer?
so many quetions?
oh oh
