As suggested, I ran amtapetype on my Superloader 3 LTO6 drive. It
took ~6 hours, here's the output:
-> amtapetype -f /dev/st0
Device is busy. Amtapetype will retry forever; hit ctrl-C to quit.
Drive was busy for 38 seconds.
If this device is used in a changer, you may want to set timeouts appro

As I understand it (from reading here) there is something set ON EACH TAPE
which
turns the compression back on. I've even run the amtapetype test on a brand
new tape,
and it turns the compression back on.
The fix is to overwrite that "bit" or whatever it is.Like this:
mt -f /dev/nst2
OK, this is odd. Here's what I get, can you guys help me figure this out?
$ mtx -f /dev/sg2 status
Storage Changer /dev/sg2:1 Drives, 8 Slots ( 0 Import/Export )
Data Transfer Element 0:Full (Storage Element 2 Loaded):VolumeTag = ABR832L6

sorry, no I hadn't disabled compression. Today I installed mt-st and following
the wiki I ran:
mt -f /dev/sg2 compression 0
mt -f /dev/sg2 defcompression 0
but when I now run amtapetype it still tells me:
Applying heuristic check for compression.

Well, since noone answered, I had to run amtapetype, so here it is if anyone
else needs it:
define tapetype LTO6 {
comment "Created by amtapetype; compression enabled"
length 2442818848 kbytes
filemark 1806 kbytes
speed 74006 kps
blocksize
Hi, just a quick question, does anyone have a tape type for an LTO6 drive?
(Ideally an HP Ultrium 6 SCSI)
Thanks
Abilio
