I've got an Exabyte M2 connected to my system. I'm running version 5.2.1 and have seen this drive do 64K transfers with "systat -vm" before (although that was under version 4.9). I can't for the life of me find out why I'm only getting 10K per transaction while I'm reading from my tape now. At the rate it's going, it will take over 10 hours to read through the entire thing. I know the tape drive is capable of reading an entire tape in about three hours. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Kevin
