Anyone got a tape type for an LTO-2 please?
Sure, a generic one:
define tapetype YOUR_CHOICE_OF_NAME {
comment if you want any
length #### native (not compressed) capacity minus
# a couple percent for marketing hype
# (units of mbyte or gbyte)
filemark #### zero to 0.05% of above number
# it has relatively little effect
# (units of kbyte or mbyte)
}
General question -- has anyone ever simply used the native capacity
and a filemark of zero AND been bitten by amanda because of it?

Define 'bitten'. On my first attempt at using amtapetype years ago, it took forever to run (either the estimate size parameter didn't exist at the time or I overlooked it while trying to grasp all of Amanda at once). Since then I've just used the native size, and tweaked it down some if runs unexpectedly hit EOT (although there are occaisional tapes that are slightly shorter than normal). Eventually you gom up with a length that works 99.9% of the time. Frank -- Frank Smith[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sr. Systems Administrator Voice: 512-374-4673 Hoover's Online Fax: 512-374-4501
