Not so sure about this. I had a Travan-4 tape whizzing away for 24 hours. Now, I've had full tapes before, and the dump time... lemme pull out the reports:
Output Size (meg) 3863.3 3829.7 33.6 ... Tape Time (hrs:min) 2:15 2:05 0:10 Tape Size (meg) 3864.1 3830.0 34.1 Tape Used (%) 101.7 100.8 0.9 (level:#disks ...) So for a tapetype run it should take 4h30... Give it 5 hours. I gave up on it and went to the FAQO. ..Brian On Thu 12 Sep 02 17:15, Gene Heskett wrote: > On Thursday 12 September 2002 10:48, Mozzi wrote: > >Hi > > > >Watch out for tapetype!!! > >I have a Tandberg VS80 DLT 40/80 Gig drive > >I gave it the command #./tapetype -e 40960 -f /dev/nst0 -t > > TandbergVS80 > > > >It has been going for 26 hours now,and no end in sight. > > > > > >Mozzi > > It will get done at some point. It has to write the tape completely > full twice, and a slow writing big tape will take a while. -- Init Systems - Linux consulting 031 767-0139 082 769-2320 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
