Re: detect shoe-shining
Ultrium LTO-3 and the new LTO-4 tape drive features a breakthrough in recording technology by writing sixteen tracks simultaneously on a linear format of 704 tracks and 896 tracks (respectively).
896/16 = 56 passes on the tape.
1600 GB / 56 = 28.5 GB per pass
28000 MB / 107 MB/Sec = 261 seconds or 4.35 minutes

Re: detect shoe-shining
I'll try to get the SCSI log sense information next week.
The lib I we is an Overland Neo4100, I think it is identical to a MSL6000 lib. Watching the lib's display is no solution, because it's located in a datacenter.
Here's the network throughput (received on the backup server), dstat with a 2 seconds delay. The data is already highly compressed, mostly zip files. ~830 GB data per LTO-4 tape.

There is a short dropout every 10-20 seconds.
The average performance I get from this backup running without spooling is : Bytes/sec=69,971,539. It seems that backing up direct over the net without spooling is faster, than despooling from a linux md raid1 device (despooling speed was ~60 MB/s).

Re: detect shoe-shining
We are already up to B34W on the firmware, you must have a pretty early version, and should probably update that. Ours came with B23W, and I thought we had received a very early version of the drive.

Solutionbe interpreted with the operation that
just completed in mind. All parameters
are for the current tape, are for writes,
and are cleared at the start of a tape
load except for the native data rate which
is fixed. If the previous load didn't write much then the values can be deceptive.
Full decode from sg6 - kind of slow but
not showing shoe shining. I wonder if
this was a short read or write as I
would expect some repositioning at this
speed.
Header: 34 00 00 1e
Parameter: 00 00
Ignore this byte: 60
Parameter length: 02
Repositions per 100MB written: 00 00 << This is the shoeshine value
Parameter: 00 01
Ignore this byte: 60
Parameter length: 02
Data rate onto tape after compression in 100KB/s: 00 d8 == 216 -> 21.6 MB/s
Parameter: 00 02
Ignore this byte: 60
Parameter length: 02
Maximum Possible Data rate with this data in 100KB/s: 0a 50 == 2640 -> 264 MB/s
Paramter: 00 03
Ignore this byte: 60
Parameter length: 02
Rate of data into the drive in 100KB/s: 00 ee == 238 -> 23.8 MB/s
Parameter: 00 04
Ignore this byte: 40
Parameter length: 02
Native data rate with LTO-4 media in 100KB/s: 04 b0 == 1200 -> 120.0 MB/s
Pulling out just the shoeshine value
from sg4 1 reposition/100MB not bad at
all but the rest of the data doesn't
show any data written to tape at all so
the reposition value probably doesn't
mean much.

Native data rate with LTO-4 media:

And the job results from the backup program:
#1
Job write elapsed time = 00:00:03, Transfer rate = 31.13 K bytes/second
#2
Job write elapsed time = 00:12:54, Transfer rate = 29.85 M bytes/second
I'm not sure how the data rate values from 34h and the backup program correspond.
