I have an LTO2 drive with tapes that hold 200g native and 400g with 
hardware compression. I have the hardware compression turned on on my 
tape drive. I know because I went and manually made sure using the tape 
tools that come with FreeBSD (The os the storage daemon is running on). 
Last night my tape filled up with only 215G. I know it filled up because 
I got a message to change tapes from the daemon. I didn't do anything 
specific in Bacula to tell it to use hardware compression on the tape 
drive because I didn't think I had to. I made sure hardware compression 
was enabled in FreeBSD. My question is, is there a specific way to tell 
bacula to take advantage of hardware compression? Perhaps a setting in 
the storage daemon config file or the bacula director config file.

Thanks,
Jason
