Hello all,
I'm trying to get a tape drive running on my FreeBSD 11.1 system. The problem is that I ran into shoe-shining (tape drive constantly stopping and restarting) when using the standard block size with tar, so I tried to increase the block size to 256.
Therein lies the problem though. First I received an error that the request size is greater than MAXPHYS - so I recompiled the kernel with a bigger MAXPHYS - and now I'm running into the following error:
Any idea on how to increase the value of si_iosize_max? And what are the consequences? (aka "What does the value do"?)
Thanks in advance.
