[ILUG] blocksize for a DLT drive?

[Conor_D_Wynne at Dell.com]

While were on this, and slightly OT

anyone know the default bloackm size in openserver 5.0x with CPIO? 
I'm thinking of increasing to 64K blocks to increase perf, but I think it
can go to 512, not too sure.

---------------
As it turned out, adding "bs=1024k" improved things dramatically. I'm
just reading back the tape now before I trash the drive.

Cheers,
Waider.
