This is like a question I'd send to ye-ole sun-managers list, but here
goes.
I have an AIT2 drive on an E250 that I need to dump about 300gig of data
to. The AIT2 specs say that with a compressed volume (/dev/rmt/1c) I
should get about 120 gig on a single tape.
So far so good.
The problem is, the write speed is PAINFULLY slow. We're using gnutar,
and the command is:
tar -c -M -f /dev/rmt/1c -L 120000000 .
With that command its taking 8-12 HOURS to run a single tape. Not good.
I'm guessing a blocking factor problem. Any ideas what an appropriate
blocking factor for this arrangement should be?
Thanks!
