Is this thread relevant?: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg01246.html Also, I would like to corroborate the OP's experiences; I had an almost identical thread about small block size and slow write speed: http://www.nabble.com/LTO-4-performance--td17407840.html In fact, I was unable to get higher block sizes working at all with btape: http://www.adsm.org/lists/html/Bacula-users/2008-05/msg00504.html So I am still stuck at ~22MB/s writing to LTO-4 with the default block size.
