- I'm writing 4mm DAT tapes on my Indigo, and reading them on HP's.
- To get them to read on the HP, I have to set the blocksize to 256k
- manually, since that is apparently the default blocksize for the
- SGI, but the HP is something else. I would rather force the blocksize
- on the SGI side, allowing the HP to read the tapes more easily. So,
- what is the default blocksize for HP DAT tapes ?
-
- SGI:
-
- tar cvf - MYFILE | dd of=/dev/tape bs=?????
-
- HP:
-
- tar xvf /dev/rmt/0mn
