Appending files to a tape drive
I've starting playing with a tape drive for the first time. Its a new one, an IBM Ultrium LTO 4. After initially copying a file to the tape with tar cvf /dev/st0 /root/dummy, all subsequent files appended take an increasing amount of time with tar rvf /dev/st0 /root/dummyX. Is it normal for each appended file to take longer than the previous? Also, anyone have an idea of an optimal block size?

ANd yes, I forgot..Please check for the SCSI termination.
If possible reseat the terminator. If you doubt O.S. then pls use other command e.g. cpio and try to get the speed. |
