[newbie] SCSI Tape drive tuning
I have an HP SureStore 12000e tape drive I use for backup, and while it should be capable of 1MB/s it generally performs lower than that, most of the time at or around the 400KB/s rate (using 'dd bs=1M' to time things). Is there someplace I could look for tuning ideas? Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Thanks,now I can use the drive! Can I tar.gz to the tape using /dev/st0 ?
Re: [newbie] scsi tape drive...
I'm not sure, but I think the taper program does that for you. If you abslutely prefer that everything be .tgz'd or tar-gzipped before being depositied onto the tape drive I have some bash script that someone from this list wrote and gave to me that will do that job very nicely and you can grab all the files from there and place onto your tape drive. Other than that the taper program should handle all the compression matters for you just fine. Mark On Saturday 23 December 2000 15:42, you wrote: Thanks,now I can use the drive!

[newbie] SCSI tape drive -- hows it work?
Hi list, Say, I've got an SCSI HP Colorado T4000s tape drive. What do I do to make it work? I've got a ton of 4GB tapes sitting in a box just collecting dust. Seems a shame to waste them all. -- Mark Larry is NOT a cucumber...he's a stinkin pickle... WITH WARTS! registered linux user # 182496 =/\= PINE 4.21 =/\= **
