https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=208782 ------- Comment #29 from kern@sibbald.com 2006-10-06 03:02 MST ------- OK, I understand, and as you say, it is a bit tricky. I'll work on getting my machine operational and testing again. Concerning the block size: Yes, the default (the user can change it), which was what I used for my tests is that Bacula puts the drive in variable block size mode (one of the ioctls() after the open), most read()/write() requests will then be 64512 bytes. The exceptions are perhaps the label record at the beginning of the tape, and the last record of some of the files, which may be shorter than 64512 bytes, but they all should be rounded up to a multiple of 512. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
