Hi,

after installing a new SuSE 10.0 from scratch on my backup server
I wantetd to use mt like I was used to, which means switch off
compression before writing to the DLT tape

this command worked alwas fine:
mt -f /dev/st0 datcompreesion off

using this on the new OS, the answer always is "Compression On".
Looking into the syslog I see the kernel complaining this:
program mt is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO

I tried to make my own "mt" by compiling the cpio suite
with "./configure CPIO_MT_PROG=mt" but after that the mt program
does not know operations like "datcompression" or "setdensity" anymore.

What can I do to get mt to work as it did before?

Cheers - Ingo.
