Hi, I have Maximum Block Size = 65536 Maximum File Size = 4gb and without any problem. All tapes have over 400,000,000,000 bytes, except 2 of 116, where I think that one was forced to change, so just 1 of 116 has under 400 GB (around 380 GB). Almost all tapes are 7 years old now. My typical end of tape mesage is like End of medium on Volume "" Bytes=618,539,200,512 Blocks=9,438,187 > Change maximum file size to 10Gb and maximum block size to 2M However, then please test readibility of these data on all systems you could possibly use. Increasing blocks size is potentially dangerous, so before increasing it, be sure, that you can read all these data back. -- Rudolf Cejka <cejkar at fit.vutbr.cz> http://www.fit.vutbr.cz/~cejkar Brno University of Technology, Faculty of Information Technology Bozetechova 2, 612 66 Brno, Czech Republic ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
