Is that OK?
It is better to set the blocksize to 0 (variable), that way you can
easily change it in amanda.
If you set it to fixed block size, then amanda must use the same size,
there is a minimum to 32k in amanda.
Could someone explain to me why this is better?
Better performance, I assume?
yes, better performance, most tape drive recommend to use even bigger
block size.
