Hi! I have archived a couple of my hosts to tape for a good while now. It works great! But now the data has grown bigger than my AIT-tape, so I need to use compression. I tried to use that when I set it up for a long time ago, but I never could get it to work. Now I try again.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -h pontiac -n -1 -s \* . | /bin/gzip >> /tmp/test.gz No problem. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -h pontiac -n -1 -s \* . | /bin/gzip >> /dev/nst0 gzip: stdout: Invalid argument Not working. I get this in the syslog: st0: Write not multiple of tape block size. Which I guess is very related, but googling hasn't really come up with anything. Anyone have any idea what the problem could be? I have no idea how to find out what my tape block size is (mt status doesn't show it), and why it only matters when using gzip/bzip2.
