Question 1)
If I set the blocksize to 128k via mt, then I can't read the tapes.
Do I need to set this up directly via mt.
If so, then do I have to re-initialize old tapes? (amrmtape, mt
erase, amlabel)?
Don't do that, the tape drive must be in variable block size.
My tape is currently in variable mode, though I can see the following in
my reports:
host1.linguamatics.com / lev 0 partial taper: Error writing block: Short
write on tape device: Tried 131072, got 65536. Is the drive using a block size
smaller than 131072 bytes?
What's causing this and how can I solve this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Attila
