Hi Alan,
so I have 2 (may dumb) questions:
1. How do I know who produced my drive?
2. If I change the stinint.def to your version, do I need to delete and
re-initalizae all tapes or can I still read/write the one written with my
stinit.def? This is important for my as doing all full backups again takes
about 1 week...
Best,
Christian

Here's mine for comparison
BTW: the only manufacturers of LTO drives are HP and IBM (everyone else
dropped out after LTO4)
These settings should cover all drives from both makers but tweak for
your drives or set the defaults up top ("can partition" is LTO5 onwards
ONLY)
{buffer-writes read-ahead async-writes scsi2logical=1 }
manufacturer="HP" model = "Ultrium 5-SCSI" {
scsi2logical=1
can-bsr=1
auto-lock=1
two-fms=0
drive-buffering=1
buffer-writes
read-ahead=1
async-writes=1
can-partitions=1
fast-mteom=0
sysv=0
sili=1
#
# If your stinit supports the timeouts:
timeout=180 # 3 minutes
long-timeout=14400 # 4 hours
#
mode1 blocksize=0 compression=1
mode2 blocksize=0 compression=1
mode3 blocksize=0 compression=1
mode4 blocksize=0 compression=1
}
manufacturer="IBM" model = "ULTRIUM-TD6" {
scsi2logical=1
can-bsr=1
auto-lock=1
two-fms=0
drive-buffering=1
buffer-writes
read-ahead=1
async-writes=1
can-partitions=1
fast-mteom=0
sysv=0
sili=1
