Hi all! I have been trying to set up Amanda to back up our Solaris 8 boxes and one of the first steps was to get a tapetype for our tapes.
The taper is reported as "HP DDS-3 4MM DAT" (by `mt status`). I don't know any additonal data about this drive since it is in an unmarked case (unless I crack it open and look around). The tapes are "Sony DGD125M", 125 metres with a native capacity of 12 GB. However, after running tapetype I get a tapetype with a capacity of around 8.5 GB (86xx-87xx mbytes), also with different values for filemarks. Also, the first time I ran it using /dev/rmt/0bn I got a type with a large value for filemark (around 1 mmb) and when running it twice with /dev/rmt/0n I got either 0 or 32 kb (the first one when specifying estimated size to 12 GB and the latter without specifying any estimated size). So, anyone know why I am not getting the expected size?
