This isn't all that usefull Reza, its evident that the hardware
compression this drive can do is turned on. Amtapetype and tapetype
use data from /dev/urandom and overpower the hardware compression
chips to the point of making the data bigger on the tape than it was
from /dev/urandom, by about the amount you see here. That DDS2 tape
should hold quite close to 4Gb when the compression is turned off.
