What type of system are you connected to ?

Machine type, speed, memory, SCSI connection type, disk connection type ?
These are all variables that affect the throughput of the tape drive.

we just purchased a LTO 3580 tape driver connect to IBM Pseries
computer. Based on document, LTO performance can be 15MB ~ 30
MB/sec. While on our environment, I have been set "block size" to 0, 32k
or 128K. The best performance I can get is 12MB/sec.

Does anyone know how to improve LTO performance?

Thanks.
