Bacula defaults to fixed blocks of ~ 64K. This will work with all LTO drives but can be suboptimal in performance. You can change the block settings in bacula-sd.conf however I believe that will make all tapes that were written with the 64K blocks unusable without you manually erasing the tape. I am stuck on 64K blocks for my LTO2 drive for that very reason. John ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second.
