Hello, list! Bacula veriosn 5.0.0 for director, SD and FDs running in Linux hosts.
I've been reading the list archive searching for 'hardware compression' posts, because I need to find a way to confirm that the backups are really being compressed. Before using `mt' command, I had this: # cat /sys/class/scsi_tape/nst0/default_compression -1 Then: # mt -f /dev/nst0 defcompression 1 and then: # cat /sys/class/scsi_tape/nst0/default_compression 1 Even before issuing that `mt' command, the Tape Drive reported Compression is enabled (see below). Here is a volume info: *list volume=Axxxx +---------+------------+-----------+---------+-----------------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------------------+ | mediaid | volumename | volstatus | enabled | volbytes | volfiles | volretention | recycle | slot | inchanger | mediatype | lastwritten | +---------+------------+-----------+---------+-----------------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------------------+ | 20 | Axxxx | Append | 1 | 603,938,958,336 | 645 | 432,000 | 1 | 5 | 1 | LTO-6 | 2024-10-24 09:02:55 | +---------+------------+-----------+---------+-----------------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------------------+ Using LTO-6 tapes, can I assume 603,9 gigabytes is stored being (hardware)compressed? tapeinfo output: # tapeinfo -f /dev/sg1 Product Type: Tape Drive Vendor ID: 'IBM ' Product ID: 'ULT3580-HH6 ' Revision: 'E6R3' Attached Changer API: No SerialNumber: '10WT067593' TapeAlert[10]: No Removal: Cannot unload, initiator is preventing media removal.
