Hi. Your text looks very good to complete this web page:

I wish I can get write access to that page for improving it, using
information you provided.

pv is "pipe viewer", to show bandwidth of a pipe. I often place it
between pipes to know data is actually being written or read.

I used
# mt setblk 0

And the result seems to be fine, this time it reads much more data than
before, perhaps can reach the end of the tape. waiting.
