package: kdat version 2.0.1 operating system: (stable) 2.6.18-5-amd64 I have a Travan 10/20 Gb tape, which is accessible using mt. However, KDat cannot open the device. I have given kdat the device name as ht0 under "settings". "mt -f /dev/ht0 tell" reports that the unit has a 512 byte block size, but kdat settings will only accept 2 digits.
