No. > If not, can I request it for a future feature? :) No it is too difficult to avoid an overrun for very little gain IMO. The tape will catch up *very* fast to the file writing then shoe-shining at the end of the file waiting for the FD to deliver more data. If you don't believe me, please implement it. It would be a lot of code for little if any gain.
