tar command and dlt drive
We have RHEL ES 3. We also have a hp dlt vs80 internal drive. We are trying do do backups with the following command:
tar -cvf /dev/st0 /backupdir
The back is either VERY slow or hangs. I believe it may be VERY slow. It is backing up 40GB of data. I have found that per hp the data transfer block size should be 64KB. How do I set this?? Do I set this in the tar command with the -b option?? If so what would the correct syntax look like?
