Hello all,

I am trying to implement Amanda on an AIX box with 7337 tape unit. I haven't even 
started the chg-scsi part yet.. which I think is going to be difficult. Right now I am 
trying to get Amanda recognize my DLT tape size as 35GB instead of 14 GB? Here is my 
configuration in amanda.conf



tapetype DLT7000-IV             # what kind of tape it is (see tapetypes below)
<snip>

define tapetype DLT7000-IV {
comment "DLT7000 with DLTtape IV uncompressed"
    length 35000 mbytes
    filemark 8 kbytes
    speed 5000 kbytes

and here is what I get from Amanda:

u02 is a little over 3GB's.

TIA
