Hi, My VXA-172 defaults to a block size of 1024, and needs to be set to 0 or variable. This setting is lost during a power cycle. So I modified mtx-changer to set this after a tape load.
Was: :cmdLoad CALL :debug "Doing mtx -f %ctl% load %slot% %drive%" %MTX% -f %ctl% load %slot% %drive% SET rtn=%ERRORLEVEL% IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO :cmdExit REM %MT% -f %device% load REM bsleep 5 CALL :wait_for_drive %device% GOTO :cmdExit Now: :cmdLoad CALL :debug "Doing mtx -f %ctl% load %slot% %drive%" %MTX% -f %ctl% load %slot% %drive% SET rtn=%ERRORLEVEL% IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO :cmdExit REM %MT% -f %device% load REM bsleep 5 CALL :wait_for_drive %device% REM Force block size to 0 for variable %MT% -f %device% setblk 0 GOTO :cmdExit ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
