I think I've been having trouble with used tapes so
I'm on new Fuji's now. Figured my data compression
woes would be gone now that I have true unformatted
tapes, but upon loading one, the drive's "DC" light
comes on. :P
After that, set the drive to 40g/no compression and
wrote some data, then quit for bed. Turned the drive
on this morning and the "DC light is back on again! I
even checked for new firmware and tried shooting the
hex codes for No Compression to the drive, that didn't
seem to help.
Rather then fight it, is there a problem with me
leaving data compression on? I wanted to avoid that
since I thought it would slow the drive down (my data
isn't very compressable). But the drive seems to
prefer (or provoke) running compressed. My high
priority is to prolong head life.
Thanks list!
***btw last time I asked, using mt's defcompression
came up. My version doesn't seem to have that command,
only datcompression which doesn't apply to dlt.
