[Gllug] Performance Tweaking of SCSI tape drives

[Huw Lynes]

Hi All,

I'm currently playing with a Sony DTF-2 drive. I've got it up and 
running using mt, tar and the standard st driver. At the moment I'm 
getting about 8Mb/s write speed. I know the drive should easily be 
capable of twice that.

After reading the man page for mt I feel that this tape drive stuff is 
all black magic. I was hoping someone could tell me which particular 
breed of goat I should be sacrificing in order to get better 
performance. 

Thanks,
Huw
