What about specifying `mt -f /dev/nst0 setblk 512' in a pre-script before backup ? The default is AFAIK 0, which means `take the I/O size provided by size of write(2) as block size'. Using 512 means it will work with any block size which is a multiple of 512. It may be a little less efficient than full-blown block sizes but it will also help with the absence of padding (tar pads at least 10240 bytes by default). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
