Hi,

how do I use hardware compression of the tape drive? I used 
"compress none" in amanda.conf and set up compression for the 
tape with "mt -f /dev/nst0 compression on". But the Amanda mail 
report announced, that there was no compression. I've got a tape 
length of 23616 meg (as tapetype said for a compressed 50gig 
OnStream ADR50). The backup was about 6721 meg and tape 
usage was 28,5%. I've run tapetype with hardware compression off 
("mt -f /dev/nst0 compression off"), like the manual said. Where is 
the mistake?

Thanks in advance.

Greetings
Olaf
