[flexbackup-help] Can't set blksize
Hello, I'm using a Travan drive on Linux (Debian/Sarge). The drive does not accept setblk: -- # mt -f /dev/nst0 status drive type = Generic SCSI-2 tape drive status = 1207960064 sense key error = 0 residue count = 0 file number = 0 block number = 0 Tape block size 512 bytes.
