Есть стриммер Ultrium 960 и ленты к нему на 400/800 Gb. Система Debian Wheezy 7.7. Нужно настроить запись на ленту со сжатием, чтобы можно было писать 800 Gb, а не 400, как сейчас.

Для настройки stinit.def использовал официальную вики Debian. Но учитывая то, что там нет отдельного кофига под LTO-3, я взял конфиг от LTO-4 и подправил в соответсвии с оборудованием.

Bacula пишет в устройство /dev/nst0l, но все равно на ленту записывается только 400 Gb, а не 800.
На всякий случай приведу конфиг Bacula.
