This might be a question better suited for sunmanagers, but I'll try it
here.
I'm running Solaris 2.7 on an E450, with a DDS-3 changer. amanda's been
calling my tape drive by /dev/rmt/0n, which is the OS default. From the
st(7D) manpage, it looks like by not specifying a `u' or a `c' in my device
name that hardware compression has not been used (contrary to popular
opinion). The `n' simply means non-rewinding. So does Solaris default to
using compression or not? Do I need to specify a `l' flag (low density)
like so?
/dev/rmt/0ln
Everything in the /kernel/drv/st.conf file is set to default (all
commented).
Any other information needed?
Thanks for the great advice already received for my ailments.
