How to see HW compression on/off?
[root@auth alex]# mt -f /dev/nst0 status
SCSI 2 tape drive:
File number=0, block number=0, partition=0.
Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x8c (EXB-8505 compressed).
Soft error count since last status=0
General status bits on (41010000):
 BOT ONLINE IM_REP_EN


HW compression enable? How too disable it? I want to use SW (gzip)
