Have you gotten it to backup 8GB uncompressed yet? I've got 120 meter
tapes in there, and the best I can get is 1GB. What does your
"mt status" report for density? What is a good density to use? By
default, mine reads "0x24", but I've tried 0x00 as well to no avail,
I've going to try 0x13 now, but I think that'll limit me to the
standard 4GB/uncompressed per tape, but we'll see...
