I am using Solaris 8.
When I type #./tapetype -h -e 12g. It shows the following.
usage: tapetype -h [-e estsize] [-f tapedev] [-t typename]
-h display this message
-e estsize estimated tape size (default: 1g == 1024m)
-f tapedev tape device name (default: $TAPE)
-t typename tapetype name (default: unknown-tapetype)
Note: disable hardware compression when running this program.
What should I do? Thanks a lot.

It should be in the amanda.conf file. If not, you can find it
with the
tapetype program.
To use it, go in the amanda directory (the one extracted from
the tar)
and into tape-src.
Then do:
#make tapetype
and you will obtain an executable "tapetype" that will give you
your
tape caracteristics. To know how to use it:
#./tapetype -h
But this is really, really, really long..... Just did it and it
took 4
hours...
