If the drive has hardware compression turned on, then tapetype can show the tape smaller than it actually is. The reason is that tapetype tests the tape by writing random data to it, and when the drive tries to compress the data it might actually expand. If this is not in a FAQ somewhere, it IMHO should be. -- Toomas Aas | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * The secret of the universe is @*^^^&# NO CARRIER
