Linux / tape Block size issue
Can anyone tell me how to read and change the tape block size attached to a ultrium 2 (Faststor-2 tapedrive). I am using Redhat Linux AS 3.0 Update 7. 
I had a problem doing a recover with our backup software which is AS 3.0 Update 7. The message I received was:
Failed to read 65536 byte block with 32768 byte read. I was told by Networker support to this was a linux issue. so here I am ???
1) How can I read the block size in linux and change it?
2) Where would I change the block size? Would it be on the controller?
Thanks in Advance

I have a server/domain on a m5000 running Solaris 10. It is part of a cluster.
The other cluster member sees tape drives, but this one does not.
It is zoned correctly, and I can see the drives are binded in lputil.
The st.conf, and devlink.tab are identical.

But recently I noticed about Fragments of File Block. In same case if you have File Block 8KB and Fragment size 1KB - you can save your block space,... (6 Replies)
