Hi Guys,
I have a few questions.
1) Is there a way to tell if a tape device is in variable sized
block mode or fixed block mode ?
- having a quick look at the st.c tape driver,
is it the case that a block-size (accessed using mt_dsreg)
of 0 indicates a variable sized device ?
- In IRIX one can tell by looking at the devicename.
2) I presume that there is no info kept on what the maximum block
size that a tape device handles ?
3) For looking at the status of the tape there semms to be
mt_gstat and GMT_* macros.
Is there any way of telling an early warning, EW, state ?
Thanks muchly,
Tim.
