These two lines are actually a little strange. I would have expected
that the second pass wrote a little bit less then the first pass (and
the difference is the space taken up by the additional filemarks).
Actually..... on my DAT drives I get the same thing. Reliably.
Multiple (new) tapes, multiple drives. I think maybe a bug in the
tapetype program of some nature. I've only ever run the tests without
compression personally.
What block sizes are you guys using? I mean on the tapedrive not the
amanda block size. I have found that a block size of "0" (variable)
works best for me on my DDS3 drive.
