But are all tapes operations non-blocking? The most efficient way seems to be to perform all operations in blocking mode, meaning that the next operation is performed after finnishing the current one.
Either (1) amtape does everything non-blocking, meaning that the sleep time must be an upper bound of the worst case sequence of operations, or (2) amtape does everything in blocking mode, but adds a sleep time in case commands return before the completion of the operation. What is the case with amanda? What happens if one sets sleep to zero?
