Subject: Hao much tape have I used?
Date: 08 Sep 2002 15:42:23 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1031496143.22965.10.camel@Zebra> (raw)
Can anyone tell me how to find out how full a tape is? Specifically, DLT
and LTO tapes which are in a robot. I have no problem loading the tapes
into the drive (using MTX) and mt works just fine - but after putting a
load of dumps on the tape, I need to know it the tape is actually full
or not. And of course, the tape drive uses hardware compression, so I
can't just add up the data dumped and subtract it from the capacity of
the tape because the compression is variable.
Any ideas / experiences with this would be appreciated.
