We did a restore  of a 1.2 gig partition. The restore was done from
a dat tape to a completely empty partition. It took 10(!) hours.
Can anybody explain why this should take so long?

This is the tape-unit:
st0(ncr0:4:0): 200ns (5 Mb/sec) offset 8.
st0: density code 0x13, variable blocks, write-enabled
pci0:13: vendor=0x1095, device=0x640, class=storage [not supported]

I suspect blocksizes but dont know where to set this.  (not with mt
so it seems).
