How can I read > 32 Kbytes from a generic scsi device? I am running
kernel 2.2.13 and using a Sony SDT-9000 DAT drive. I have data tapes
with a 40960 byte block size. I can read these tapes okay on an SGI
under IRIX 6.5, but under Linux I only get 32K bytes.
I have tried setting the block size with mt:
mt -f /dev/st1 setblk 40960
with no effect. I have tried using ioctl to set SG_SET_RESERVED_SIZE to
64K. The ioctl seemed to work and I could use SG_GET_RESERVED_SIZE to
verify it, but still no effect on reading the tapes.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.
