Increasing the Block size in kdat
Hi, i am used to backing up my data from the command line by using the following command
tar cvfb /dev/st0 20 /dir1 /dir2
The speed is fairly good. but when i try to use kdat to do my backup its very slow! I tried to change the tape block size but it would always remain at a maximum of 99 bytes. Is there a way to increase its speed, or is it better that i continue to use the command line?

Perhaps there is another app for tape drive backups? Is there any other app for this purpose in fc5
