I'm archiving a lot of video to DLT, and think it
might help to disable hardware compression. DV25
streams are, by definition, compressed and will not
shrink much anyway (if at all).
In the docs it says you disable compression with this:
mt -f /dev/nst0 defcompression 0
But where do you enter that, does it go into
mtx-changer or soemthing? Many of the tapes I have are
used and it appears whoever last used them had hw
compression on.
Also, is it possible/advisable to modify permissions
so bacula can be run by a user (me?)? The install
seems to set everything for root/root, will changing
the group to disk hurt anything?
Thanks list!
