Silly Q? Could this be the reason I've blamed amanda for not being
able to rewind the tape in a Seagate 4586N changer? And while amanda
couldn't rewind it, mt could?
I don't think so. The file contains parameters to set blocksize
and hw-compression if different modes. But rewind is (AFAIK) a generic
scsi-tape command. Anyway, amanda does not read that file; adding
it would not a difference for amanda.
"man stinit" gives some idea what can be configured in the file.
Humm, on inspecting that file, I find its quite jurassic, offering no
clues for anything newer than whats obviously decade+ old DDS1
drives. And no mention of rewind capabilities for any drive IIRC.
So I doubt its connected with my non-rewinding chg-scsi script useage.
