See 'man mt'. On my Linux Debian system, mt datcompression 1 #prints DAT compression mt datcompression 0 #disables DAT compression mt datcompression x #where x is anything other than 0 or 1 enables DAT compression
Hope this helps. -Kevin >>> Nina Pham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 12/01/04 07:11PM >>> I having problem with the backup. The backup tape capacity is 20/40G, I tried to backup only around 17 G compressed. Following are the error message tar: Removing leading `/' from member names tar: /dev/st0: Wrote only 0 of 10240 bytes tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now So I tried tar -M, it shows that the tape is out of space. I suspect something wrong with the hardware compression. Is there a command to check if the hardware compression is on or off? how can I turn it on or off? Thanks in advance
