[opensuse] Linux and Sony DDS Compression

I am using at Sony DDS3 SDT-9000 with 125M DDS3 tapes. I have set the hardware DC switch to perform hardware compression. I have used mt to set datcompression on. I do not seem to be able to write over 12MB on the tape. I would exprect more if compression is working. Is this a problem that other list members have encountered and solved? I'm using SuSE Linux 9.0 (2.4.21-286-smp4G) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
