Hi Robin,
I've downloaded and tried dt under Linux 2.2.12 (SuSE 6.1). Looks quite
promising. I'm going to spread this tool around my company, making
communication SW somebody definitely can make use of it.
I grabbed the latest source and found that I first need to do a 'make
depends' otherwise it will look for some RedHat include paths which I don't
have, of course. A simple 'make' will not do. Maybe the Makefile.linux need
some tweaking (I'll look into this asap) or the source-tar is not really
clean... No big problem, actually.
Here are some questions:
1. I'm intending to use dt for my SCSI dat tape (SONY SDT-7000). Can you
provide me with a script that determines:
a) Total capacity
b) Speed
2. Must I specify the device type under Linux when testing a tape device (I
guess: yes)?
3. Under Linux, I get 'fsnyc(): invalid parameter' or a similar message
when testing. Do I need to switch O_FSYNC off? fsync() seems to be
available (using SuSE 6.1 I still have to use glibc 2.0.x).
dt has lots of options! Can be a bit confusing... RTFM definitely helps!
Thanks!
Mit freundlichen Gruessen / best regards
