hi folks,
thanks for the responses! thanks to Yura Pismerov who responded to
me but appearently did not CC to the list.
after getting these, i went and did what i should have done in the
first place: build and run tape-src/tapetype ;*) here's what
tapetype generated for me (no hardware compression of course):
# tapetype -e 50g -f /dev/rmt/1 -t SDX-500C
wrote 1392640 32Kb blocks in 85 files in 8025 seconds (short write)
wrote 1392640 32Kb blocks in 170 files in 7998 seconds (short write)
define tapetype SDX-500C {
comment "just produced by tapetype program"
length 43520 mbytes
filemark 0 kbytes
speed 5562 kps
}
so i guess that must be 50 x 1000 x 1000 x 1000 bytes on the tape,
and not 50 x 1024 x 1024 x 1024 bytes :*)))
hardware is COMPAQ branded SDX-500C tapedrive in a COMPAQ
StorageWorks SSL2000 series library, attached to a Sun Ultra60
450MHz/512Mb using a SunSwift(tm) PCI Adapter card in the 66MHz
pci slot as the SCSI interface, Solaris 8 is the OS. amanda
version (tapetype cmd) is 2.4.2 release.
now, that "filemark 0 kbytes" kinda worries me ;*) i can find no
reference to tape marks in my Compaq AIT drive manual :*/ would
it be a good idea to arbitrarily put in "filemark 1024 bytes"
or something (should it be a Mb or a Kb)?
OTOH, AIT uses MIC (Memory-In-Cassette) technology, so perhaps
the tapedrive does not even write filemarks!?!? anyone have any
insight here?
sincerely,
chris linn
P.S. please CC to me since i appear to not be subscribed to
