I am writing files to tape using the following:

find . *.t* -cpio /dev/rmt0

Is there a shorter command so I don't have to wait for the 'find'
command to work its way through these very large files before it does
the cpio to 8mm tape?

Also, If I changed the blocksize on the tape drive to 0 from 1024,
would I get more data on each tape?

The geographical center of Boston is in Roxbury.
Due north of the center we find the South End.
This is not to be confused with South Boston
which lies directly east from the South End. North
of the South End is East Boston and southwest
of East Boston is the North End.
