thanks. that fairly well matches what I was using
define tapetype LTO6comp {
length 2443520000 kbytes
filemark 868 kbytes
speed 157129 kps
blocksize 2048 kbytes
}
except for filemark; can anyone comment on that? looking at the tapetype
definitions on the zmanda wiki, it seems that most of the LTO entries have
zero kbytes for filemark...
