I'm sorry this is a bit off-topic, but large raid sets need big backups ;-)
My HP SureStore DAT24 stops after writing 12 GB of data to a DDS-3 tape. I 
suspect there must be something wrong with the compression. To verify this I 
need some additional information:

- What are the right dip switch settings of the DAT24?
- Did 'mt datcomression 2' really switch the compression on??
- What is the best block size for the dump command???
- Any other topics I have to look for????

Oh, the box: kernel 2.2.9 & Adaptec AHA-2940 at 10 MB/s narrow sync, Dual 
Processor Board with two PII/400

Thanx
Thomas
