I need to write data to 8mm tapes from AIX to NT4.0. What is the
syntax of the command and what do I want to set my tape
characteristics through SMIT - blksz, density? I would like to write
the 8mm tape in 5GB format...
Here's a bit of info I got from the user. Looks like he's coming from IRIX????
>>I have 8mm tape drives on Windows NT 4.0 Servers, and when I write
>>out to a tape using cpio, I use the following command:
>>
>> cpio -ovc -O /dev/mt
>>
>>I don't use any blocking option (e.g. -C 32768), nor do I use a buffering
>>option (e.g. -z 20) that was available in Unix when using "scpio".
