Exabyte Mammoth tape type?

2001-04-19 Thread Carey Jung
Hi, Anybody got a tapetype spec for an Exabyte Mammoth tape (not Mammoth-2) that they would kindly share? How about some heuristics for a "good guess" at parameters? Running the tapetype program seems to take hours, even days. thanks, Carey

Hi, The three parameters you need can be easily obtained or estimated. For no hardware compression:- length 2 mbytes # Raw length using 170m AME tape # (use up to 4 mbytes with hw compression) filemark 95 kbytes # From the Mammoth spec document
