Followup: No, the final humungous file wasn't broken up at the end of
the run.
Either "Maximum File Size" is broken, I'm reading the documentation
wrong, or I've missed some necessary

2x compression is indeed unrealistic most of the time.

After a lot of time and diagnostic work, it appears that my problem was
hardware-based. Since the drive was still under warranty, Quantum sent
me a new one, and everything seems to be working nicely since I
installed it. Between btape, taperx.lx (quantum utility), and just plain
tar, we were ab

It's fine to lay data to tape using concurrent/interlaced, however

I don't personally do this, but (here in the US) I've heard of people
using safety deposit boxes at the bank or post office mailboxes at the
the post office to store tapes overnight for daily rotation.

Hi Alan
Thats good to hear, I'm having some similar issues right now! However
the font is definitely installed. I was wondering if you could provide
the relevant snippets of config/file ownerships just so I can compare
them to my system and make sure all is as it should be.
Kind Regards,

Oh, the message said that the number of "files" on the tape was a
different number than was in the catalog. How would that have happened?
How do I check to see how many "files" or whatever are on the tape so I
can adjust the catalog?

Howdy,
