Everything is FC connected using QLA 2430-series controllers. When linux first connects to the drives it reports the largest block size supported by the devices in dmesg and on the console. This information is also obtainable using tapeinfo: # tapeinfo -f /etc/bacula/DEVICES/CHANGER2-DRIVE6-sg Product Type: Tape Drive Vendor ID: 'HP ' Product ID: 'Ultrium 5-SCSI ' Revision: 'I57H' Attached Changer: No SerialNumber: 'HUE23108AJ' MinBlock:1 MaxBlock:16777215 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ SCSI ID: 1 SCSI LUN: 0 Ready: yes BufferedMode: yes Medium Type: Not Loaded Density Code: 0x58 BlockSize: 0 DataCompEnabled: yes DataCompCapable: yes DataDeCompEnabled: yes CompType: 0x1 DeCompType: 0x1 Block Position: 971091 /etc/bacula/DEVICES/CHANGER2-DRIVE6-sg is just a symlink through to /dev/tape/by-id which makes it easier to debug errors. We also have some older LTO2 drives which report 16Mb support.
