I thought the different devices controlled what level of hardware
compression was being involved.
/dev/st0 would be none or default
/dev/st0l would be level 1
/dev/st0m would be level 2
/dev/st0a would be level 3
Or something like that. Driver has to support it and all that. Looks like
I was wrong. It seems to me that the different devices was one way of
controlling hardware compression under AIX, but I could be wrong.
I need to be able to find out what settings my tape drive has and then be
able to change them :). I know how to do that in AIX, but that doesn't
help me here.
Turns out that there is a closed source util from the drive
manufacturer. It isn't working right for me and I'd prefer to have a
generic solution regarding tape drives in general.
