I've just installed a Seagate ST224000N-SB, Scoprion 24GB SCSI tape on my RH
7.0 system.  Seagate has been worse the useless in providing assistance.
After much digging in dejanews, I've found a set of definitions to put in
/etc/stinit.def that supposedly enable the hardware compression in the
drive.  Unfortunately, while stinit appears to work correctly, I'm having no
luck in getting compression actually to work.  Trying to dump / of a freshly
installed system (right around 1GB of data) requires more than 1 tape and I
know this isn't correct.

Has anyone succeeded in getting this, or a similar, tape drive working with
hardware compression.  If so, I'd love to hear what you did.

Thanks,
