Recalling your data in the original posting I think an amtapetype run was estimated to take about 8 hours. I think LTO drives are capable of writing a full tape in about 1.5 hrs, amtapetype should do two full writes, thus about 3+ hours total. As you system seems to be writing at less than 1/2 full speed, I wonder if it is failing to stream. If an LTO drive is not streaming, is its capacity affected by having large gaps caused by the start and stopping action? jl -- Jon H.
