Hello Folks,
I'm wondering if there's a bug with 'Amtapetype' (version 3.5.1).
We're migrating from LTO5 to LTO7 and I'm getting strange results when I
run 'amtapetype'.
Here's what I get after roughly 35 hours:
define tapetype LTO7 {
comment "Created by amtapetype; compression enabled"
length 5874932832 kbytes
filemark 1813 kbytes
speed 118310 kps
blocksize 32 kbytes
}
Why is it saying that it can write roughly 6Tb if it's supposedly
hardware compressed? LTO7 is supposed to give a compression ration of
2.5 to 1.
I've disabled compression... Here's the ouptut of 'tapeinfo:
[root@ulysses ~]# tapeinfo -f /dev/sg12

Am I missing something?
Thanks!|
