As an FYI, I got my tape running with compression, but using pure tar as my backup program I could not get it to stream (requires 15-30 MB/sec depending on data compressibility).
SuSE 8.2 includes "buffer" to work with tar and with the combination I could get it to stream, but I lost the ability to write more than one tapes worth of backup.
I found "mbuffer" or "Measuring Buffer" on the web and I downloaded/compiled/installed it.
