The log that I can see (/var/log/messages) comes from the kernel:
1) Initialization of the tape (stinit -f stinit.def):
Sep 17 14:23:40 proxy02 kernel: st0: Mode 0 options: buffer writes: 1,
async writes: 1, read ahead: 1
Sep 17 14:23:40 proxy02 kernel: st0: can bsr: 1, two FMs: 0, fast
mteom: 0, auto lock: 1,
Sep 17 14:23:40 proxy02 kernel: st0: defs for wr: 0, no block limits:
0, partitions: 1, s2 log: 1
Sep 17 14:23:40 proxy02 kernel: st0: sysv: 0
Sep 17 14:23:40 proxy02 kernel: st0: Default block size set to 1024
bytes.
Sep 17 14:23:40 proxy02 kernel: st0: Compression default set to 1
2) Writes on the tape (dd if=foo.tgz of=/dev/st0 bs=1k)
Sep 17 14:35:00 proxy02 kernel: st0: Write not multiple of tape block
size.
What does it mean ?
