That's just an advertising claim which is based on assumption that your

It should be clearer in the docs that use of the tapetype program
(now amtapetype) is only of value if you are using software rather
than hardware compression (you should not use both although on
newer drives it doesn't hurt as it once did).

A long time ago I ran tapetype.
I left it with the results I received and everything worked fine for the
past couple of years until today.
The problem is that today I hit the 20Gb limit for data that I want to
back up.
tapetype did not take into account the HW compression of the drive.

I have a HP-DAT 40 that should get 40GB with hardware compression.
I ran amtape type and got the following.
length 16534 mbytes
filemark 0 bytes
speed 2570 kbytes
Does this look right? The first run didn't come close to 40gb or even 20gb.

Tapetype doesn't use software compression. It just writes random data to
the drive until it hits EOT. This also means that if harware compression
is enabled, you'll actually see a much *smaller* length than you expect,
since random data doesn't c
ression. which is reasonable.
Hmm.. That make sense. I guess I need to figure out how to turn off
hardware compressions the, since software compression should be better
and faster.

2] When I run Amanda with the new tape type, it dumps about 2GB on

Hi,
The three parameters you need can be easily obtained or estimated.
For no hardware compression:-
length 2 mbytes # Raw length using 170m AME tape
# (use up to 4 mbytes with hw compression)
filemark 95 kbytes # From the Mammoth spec document
Hi,
Anybody got a tapetype spec for an Exabyte Mammoth tape (not Mammoth-2) that
they would kindly share? How about some heuristics for a "good guess" at
parameters? Running the tapetype program seems to take hours, even days.
