Can anyone tell me what the default density is for an Exabyte 8505XL tape drive on 2.1.5 ? I seem to be only getting around 7-8 gig on a tape using Amanda. I'm not sure if this is because I'm comressing the dumps prior to writing to tape and hardware compression can't do much more, or I'm writing to the tape at standard 8505 density. I noticed density codes have been added to the SCSI code at 2.2 for Exabytes. Do I need to upgrade my dump systems to take advantage of the Exabyte hardware compression ? Thanks. Greg
