Check SunSolve - I believe there is a required change to st.conf and a
change to Solstice Backup
regarding the block size used.

>   I'm now planning to purchase Mammoth Tape Library for my system.

> However my evaluation shows that it only 0.8xMB/sec. I'm using
> the Solstice Backup 5.1 software. I'm using Solaris 2.6 OS. The
> kernal of 2.6 shows that it should support Mammoth Tape Drive.
> Why my performance is stil so slow? Any comments and suggestion?
