I like the amount of space on the tapes, the native throughput is not bad (about 1Gig/hr). BRU handles the drive very well, once you patch the kernel to properly use the ide version. As of yet I have not tried cpio tar etc, however mt works like a charm for moving around the tape :) I am not an expert cpio user but if you'd like, privately email me and I can perhaps run some tests for you? -- Matthew Micene Systems Development Manager Express Search Inc. www.ExpressSearch.com ____________________________ A host is a host from coast to coast, and no one will talk to a host too close Unless the host that isn't close is busy, hung or dead
