Block Size

I have written data to an 8mm drive (8250) by opening /dev/rmt0h from
within a FORTRAN program. How do I find out what the block size is
on the tape? Is there a default? I don't know much at all about block
sizes in general and how they work. Maybe someone could give me a
quick overview?

Thank you very much for any input!

Brad
