VS80-Tape Drive and BrightStor 11.0

[Ralph Burkhardt]

How can I change the block size from 512 to 64kb with a VS80-Tape Drive and BrightStor 11.0? The block size after a reformat of the tape will allways be 512.

I've allready tried this, but the block size is still 512k. I'll get a new tape and try with it. Thanks.
