My Wangtek QIC 150 tape (an old 5110 ES drive) runs at a rate of 5MB/min, or 300MB/h, which should give 1GB in something near/below 4h (if the 250MB-tapes are changed fast enough). The streaming throughput should be limited from the tape, not the host.
: I'm just checking but whenever I extract the contents of my mirrored : tapes it seems to take nearly all night to extract. At least 6 hours. : That doesn't seem right to me. Is the kernel configured to work with all : SCSI tape drives in an optimal manner? Is there the same kind of QIC : interpretation problem like under Solaris here? ie. stconf.c? -- Uni Wuppertal, FB Elektrotechnik, Tel/Fax: (0202) 439 - 3009 Dr. Andreas Wehler; [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
