The question was: Why does my TLZ07 report just 4GB saved in NSR?
Of course, the compression rate depends on the data.
There were different answers. In any case, this obviously isn't a "known
problem". Some suggested making sure that the switches on the drive
enable hardware compression. Others suggested it might be some other I/O
problem, NSR tends to treat tape full as a problem.
Some suggested that the number of bytes reported actually were
*compressed* bytes. As I seem to be using compressasm, this might very
well be the case (NSR compresses everyting, so the drive can't compress
anymore itself: if this is the case, it would be nicer if it had shown
the *uncompressed* number of bytes in the stats).
