- Short: Scsi-Direct Tape Handler by Mathew Dillon
-
- FEATURES: My tape-handler implements fully asynchronous double-buffered read and
- write operations. If you have disk/tape drives which support
- reselection then the handler will be able to operate on the tape
- concurrently with disk accesses meaning that an archiver such as
- Tar will not 'freeze' while tape operations are in progress.
-
- To take the greatest advantage of this feature you should specify as
- large a buffer as possible. Anywhere from 500K to 2MB will yield
- reasonable throughput.
