The Magnetic Tape Partitioning tool (mtp) 0.9

mtp is a command line tool for creating partitions on magnetic tapes,
especially on LTO-5+ tapes.
Additionally it can enable and disable the Linux ST (scsi-tape) driver
'can-partitions' option, so you can use mt-st for changing tape partitions.

What mtp does have:

• a little menu for interactive partitioning
• and q batch mode for batch processing
