Hi
Try setting the block size at the device level.
smit tape
-> Change / Show Characteristics of a Tape Drive

DLT Tape drives have to be set to variable length block size

can you create a TAR using DLT IV tape?
I tried changing the block size, but message keeps on saying 'invalid TAR

thanks,
Librado
