It's amazing how much faster a DLT4000 runs when you set the

Linux has the Unix-standard mt command, too,
which allows setting the
blocksize the system device uses, either explicitly or to a variable
blocksize.
Ah... I have never used that facet of 'mt' before (but I use mt on Linux
all the time, practically daily, with our SDLTs).
