Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, I've just got one Sony DAT SDT-7000. A really nice toy :) And it works perfectly under FreeBSD. BUT, it's really slow. A Linux friend told me that there is an utility called "dds2tar" which allows to increase the speed to search/read/write files on the DAT. Apparently, it writes an index of all files. Does this software exist for FreeBSD ? Or at least something equivalent ? Thanks you.
