Re: Re: [Bacula-devel] Using Irix as the storage daemon for Bacula 1.35.1

[Chan W. <cha...@gm...>]

No, I didn't get an answer.  The tape drive is in variable block mode=20
(that's the 'v'  in the tps5d4nrv definition)... at least that's the
intention.
With a bit of hardware mucking I could get this jukebox attached to=20
an ia32 box (currently running freebsd) to verify Bacula
functionality.  But it works fine under native xfsdump with the v
device, so...
