sorry, no Tandberg drive here. But you can run the tapetype(1) program to find out this data yourself, if you can't find it on the Amanda FAQ-O-Matic (http://www.amanda.org/cgi-bin/fom?): | $ whatis tapetype | tapetype (1) - test a tape in a tape drive and generate an Amanda tapetype |entry | $ /usr/sbin/tapetype -h | usage: tapetype -h [-e estsize] [-f tapedev] [-t typename] | -h display this message | -e estsize estimated tape size (default: 1g == 1024m) | -f tapedev tape device name (default: $TAPE) | -t typename tapetype name (default: unknown-tapetype) | | Note: disable hardware compression when running this program. Be warned however that tapetype might run quite a long time. Hope this helps, Martin.
