Hello,

I have recently acquired an HP SureStore 6000 tape unit to do
my backups.  This is a DAT (DDS-2) system connected to my SCSI
adapter.  Everything is working fine but I have one question.
Is it possible to format a tape on one of these units?  Having
used ftape previously I was able to format a tape using ftools.

I have searched through the documentation and online for anything
that would indicate it was possible to format a DAT but I have not
found anything along these lines.

'mt' doesn't seem to support formatting.  So, if it is possible
then could someone please point me in the right direction.

Thanks a lot,

T. Tilton
