We run SLES10 SP1s under VM, and make data backups to 3592 tape machine directly from linuxes.
I understand that there should be a compression feature inside this tape system. According to Device Drivers, Features, and Commands - SC33-8289-04, it could be activated in tape_3590 driver with # mt -f /dev/rtibm0 compression 1 but "mt" in this distribution does not support "compression" command. Compressing with tar -czf ... works fine, but gzip eats lots of cpu. So I would be happy to get advice on this, or references to good books...
