[2007-11-27 11:06] <cmihai> Some commands also support a /P (page)
[2007-11-27 11:07] <Arikael> cmihai, may it be a problem with the overwrite protection etc.?
[2007-11-27 11:07] <cmihai> These are 12GB tapes right?
[2007-11-27 11:07] <Sazpaimon> cmihai, i dont want that
[2007-11-27 11:07] <Arikael> 24 gbyte
[2007-11-27 11:07] <Sazpaimon> i want to have it set to automatically display each line after a set amount of time
[2007-11-27 11:08] <cmihai> Arikael, don't you mean 12/24?
[2007-11-27 11:08] <cmihai> They usually say: 24*
[2007-11-27 11:08] <Arikael> yes
[2007-11-27 11:08] <cmihai> * - assume 2:1 compression
[2007-11-27 11:08] <Sazpaimon> not an entire page full of text and have it make me press enter for each line
[2007-11-27 11:09] <cmihai> As in, scroll every second or whatever?
[2007-11-27 11:09] <Arikael> so I won't be able to use 24gbyte at any time?
[2007-11-27 11:09] <jelly> Arikael: sounds like you've filled up one tape, and it wants to continue on new medium
[2007-11-27 11:09] <Sazpaimon> cmihai, or every millisecond, yes
[2007-11-27 11:10] <Arikael> hm, I'm not sure
[2007-11-27 11:10] <Arikael> because on other day we had more data to save then today and it worked within 7 hours...
[2007-11-27 11:11] <cmihai> Arikael, that tape never was 24GB, unless you assume compression. Maybe your data just doesn't compress as well.
[2007-11-27 11:11] <cmihai> Eg: media
[2007-11-27 11:13] |<-- Jad has left kornbluth.freenode.net (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
[2007-11-27 11:13] <Arikael> currently it has 12342342949 bytes which is 11.5 Gbyte
[2007-11-27 11:14] <jelly> that's ok for that media if your data is already compressed.
[2007-11-27 11:14] <Arikael> but, it could be that there were already some data on the tape
[2007-11-27 11:14] <jelly> (ie. zips, or mpeg/avi)

[2007-11-27 11:23] <cmihai> Sazpaimon, call it.
[2007-11-27 11:23] <cmihai> You can also pipe or redirect.
