Go into the tape-src's directory and type "make tapetype" That will make you a drive definer that you can then run against that drive. Be sure and turn any hardware compression off before starting as that can make the /dev/urandom data grow a bit and give a falsely small size. Then leave it off... Forever. Use software which takes time, but compresses much better. -- Cheers, Gene AMD K6-III@500mhz 320M Athlon1600XP@1400mhz 512M 99.17% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly
