Hello > If i want to enable hardware compression so i can use 320GB from > my VS1 tapes
2:1 hardware compression for general data is quite an optimistic figure, but I am sure you already know that... > mt -f /dev/nst0 defcompression 1, correct? "mt defcompression" controls the default compression setting, i.e. whether hw compression is enabled when the drive is powered up. If you just want to change the current setting you should use "mt compression". > Is there any way to enable and disable hardware compression using bacula > before a job starts..? On a per-job basis, none that I know of (without resorting to RunScript-driven kludges). If you want compression to be always on or always off you can add the above mentioned command to mtx-changer, just after the wait-for-ready loop invocation. This way compression is enabled or disabled automatically every time a tape is loaded for use. andrea ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
