Jean-Louis,
Good question, especially as I badly misspoke.
The tape is not DLT IV, it is LTO IV, I used the standard
tape type definition, provided, as I would not have used
such a specific number.
define tapetype LTO4 {
comment "Dell LTO4 800Gb - Compression Off"
length 802816 mbytes
filemark 0 kbytes
speed 52616 kps
}
I am not using HW compression.
I am using "compress client fast" for the dumptypes.
All file systems are local to the host, we have a large > 255
DLE that are ZFS file systems.
That being said - I think you are correct, I am using the
wrong tape length.
If they are LTO IV tapes, they hold 400 Gig, up to 800 G with
HW compression, which we are not using...
Q - Would it be correct to reset the tape length to 400 Gig ?
thank you/rookie mistake,
Brian
