LTO-5/SAS on FreeBSD: I still use Maximum Block Size = 65536, because
333 MB/s transfer rate is sufficient for me. I have tried this small
script

#!/bin/sh
B=131072
C=32768
while [ $B -ge 1024 ]; do
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/nsa1 bs=$B count=$C
B=$(( $B / 2 ))
C=$(( $C * 2 ))
done

If you have more parallel jobs, full spool space means that all spooling
jobs have to be paused until something is despooled. With Maximum Job
Spool Size set to Maximum Spool Size / number of parallel jobs you can
prevent this situation.
