tar -c -b 128 /home | mbuffer -m 400M -p 95 -s 65536 -D |

my tapelib has a 35/70gb dlt built in. After 10(!) mb mtx signaled to switch |
| 18 |
tapes. |

After one hour of hunting (updating mbuffer, re-emerging mtx and playing |
| 21 |
around with different options) I made an ls -lhtr of /dev to see if all nodes |
| 22 |
are there. There weren't. And st0 had a size of 10M. WTF? mknod'ed the node - |
| 23 |
didn't help. On turning on the lib, udev made three nodes. sg2, the 10mb st0 |
| 24 |
and tape/by-id/blabla. Reloading the modules created a lot more nodes - and |
| 25 |
solved the problems. |

Sometimes life is a lot easier with less automation. |
