73 | <para>A: If your tape drive and its firmware and the kernel-level
|

74 | driver support fopen(), fread(), fwrite() and fclose() - standard C
|
---|
75 | library calls - then yes, Mondo should support it. If not, well,
|
---|
76 | you need a refund. :) Mondo plays nicely with any sane, sensible
|
---|
77 | drives. That's most of them, by the way. :) If your drive doesn't
|
---|
78 | play nicely with Mondo then you may try tinkering with setblksize
|
---|
79 | and defblksize using 'mt', or tweaking Mondo's block size by
|
---|
80 | recompiling it with make INTTAPE=4096 or INTTAPE=8192 or something.
|
---|
81 | Other than that, you need a priest or a refund.</para>

119 | using the mountlist editor to edit your RAID and non-RAID
