DLT7000 block size

2004-09-10 Thread Gabor Melis
This box is a Dell Poweredge 2600 running Debian/Sarge with kernel 2.6.8. The problem is with the tape: # tar cf /dev/st0 /lib/modules/2.6.8-1-686-smp/ # tar xfv /dev/st0 After heavy googling I tried passing tar the block size explicitly with -b (for both invocations). It is not until '-b 216'
