(Don't worry; he/she is not alone.) The TS1120 is still a streaming tape drive and streaming tape drives have a minimum speed. The TS1120's minimum speed is 40 MB/s times your compression ratio (avg 1.5:1), which makes it about a 60 MB/s minimum speed tape drive. If you're not sending significantly less than 60 MB/s to that drive, it is shoe-shining. The same is true for the T10000 from STK and LTO-3. LTO-3's minimum speed is 27 MB/s, T10000's is 50 IIRC. Not sure of the minimum speed for SDLT. Here's an article I wrote about this problem: http://tinyurl.com/ym2sap --- W.
