I'd like to see this also too. People keep handing me 4mm DDS tapes from SGI systems written in 256k blocks. Even 8mm defaults to 128k on SGI. Then there is another user who thinks writting 1024k (megabyte) blocksize is fun. Well there's little hope for that last guy, but support for 256k tape blocks would let me place FreeBSD machines where none are currently. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
