I really couldn't care less about blocksizes, but it seems to be that it's impossible to reach high LTO4 write-speeds with lower blocksizes; tests show that >100MiB/s are not possible with blocksizes around 64KB to 512KB (from memory), so: the bigger the blocksize, the higher the writing speed. I suppose this gets even more critical with LTO5 drives. -- Lukas -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
