I am using an Exabyte Eliant 820 tape drive on Linux kernel 2.4.18 andFor that drive, compression is controlled via density. 0x15 is uncompressed.
would like to make sure the hardware compression is disabled. Does anyone
know how I can check that ?
Run it as "amtapetype -c ..." to do the compression detection test only (the tape contents are lost; use a scratch tape!).
