I am running Solaris 10 on the amanda server. I ran the first part of tapetype with /dev/rmt/1n(c) where "n" is no rewind and "c" is compression. I did not specify the "c" or "u" for compression, yet I got "WARNING: Tape drive has hardware compression enabled". zorn->[46] > ./amtapetype -o -c -e 200g -f /dev/rmt/1n -t Ultrium2 Writing 2048 Mbyte compresseable data: 37 sec Writing 2048 Mbyte uncompresseable data: 76 sec WARNING: Tape drive has hardware compression enabled Estimated time to write 2 * 204800 Mbyte: 15200 sec = 4 h 13 min zorn->[51] > ./amtapetype -o -c -e 200g -f /dev/rmt/1cn -t Ultrium2 Writing 2048 Mbyte compresseable data: 37 sec Writing 2048 Mbyte uncompresseable data: 76 sec WARNING: Tape drive has hardware compression enabled Estimated time to write 2 * 204800 Mbyte: 15200 sec = 4 h 13 min Any ideas on how to turn off compression?
