I never changed the density on a tape drive but try man mt, it has more info regarding setting density.
I already tryied nearly all mt options without results... I also installed mtst, that's an "enhanced" (?) version of mt, but I got nothing relevant regarding compression.
I'm guessing that the density has something to do with tape capacity.
Me too... that's why I need to know DDS-4 density code to pass to mt, or in bpi, to pass to dump...
Thanks, Sebastian
Have you looked into stinit? You can set compression in the /etc/stinit.def file. I have not experimented with modifying compression via stinit, but that is another thing you can try. FYI: IIRC the package for this is on the DVD, not the CDs. Greg -- Greg Freemyer The Norcross Group Forensics for the 21st Century
