Short: Scsi-Direct Tape Handler by Mathew Dillon
FEATURES: My tape-handler implements fully asynchronous double-buffered read and
write operations. If you have disk/tape drives which support
reselection then the handler will be able to operate on the tape
concurrently with disk accesses meaning that an archiver such as
Tar will not 'freeze' while tape operations are in progress.
To take the greatest advantage of this feature you should specify as
large a buffer as possible. Anywhere from 500K to 2MB will yield
reasonable throughput.
