Hi. 

Waited till tapetype ran to the end (sorry for the impatience) - and got
the output below. 

I have a few questions/problems. 

1) it says it writes 32kb blocks - how can I make it write in 128kb
blocks (recommended block size (=filemark?) for Quantum DLT-7000)? 

2) it says filemark 0 kbytes - howcome? 

3) the speed mentioned here is only approx. 3mb/s - it's suppose to
handle more than that isn't it? - will this value change if I hit the
right filemark value (if filemark=block size that is)? 

[root]# tapetype -f /dev/tape -e 35g 
wrote 1238544 32Kb blocks in 108 files in 13999 seconds (short write) 
wrote 1244278 32Kb blocks in 217 files in 14257 seconds (short write) 
define tapetype unknown-tapetype { 
    comment "just produced by tapetype program" 
    length 38794 mbytes 
    filemark 0 kbytes 
    speed 2811 kps 
}
