Hello Gurus;
I am curious about the tape devices compression facilities in Solaris.
I am assuming that if I do something like
#tar cvf /dev/rmt/0c <some directory>
Solaris will use the compression capable device driver to write onto
/dev/rmt/0
Assuming that the hardware (in this case a DAT 70 (DDS 5??) tape drive)
has hardware compression,will a command like
#tar tvf /dev/rmt/0
be able to scan the TOC of the same tar file that was written using the
/dev/rmt/0c device driver?
Or do I have to do
#tar tvf /dev/rmt/0c
??
Warmest Regards
