I´ve a Sony AIT-1 i100/S tape installed in a FreeBSD 6.0 machine and I want
to use amanda. What´s the tapetype that I must to use and/ou other trips?
You can use amtapetype. It took me about 2 days to get the results,
but it works and it is the only way to be sure.
It works much faster (4-5 hours)when you had specified a
realistic estimate:
amtapetape -e 35g ...
man amtapetype
Maybe not very clear on first reading, but now that you
experienced what "slow" means, you probably understand:
... The -e flag is there to keep the number of file
marks down because they can be slow (since they force the
drive to flush all its buffers to physical media).
And using the web is even faster:
