  • Show the current binary tape driver and mode options is sysfs. A file
    (options) is created in each directory in /sys/class/scsi_tape. The files
    contain masks showing the options. The mask bit definitions are the same as
    used when setting the options using the MTSETDRVBUFFER function in the
    MTIOCTOP ioctl (defined in include/linux/mtio.h). For example:
    > cat /sys/class/scsi_tape/nst0/options
    0x00000d07

  • Add new option MT_ST_SILI to enable setting the SILI bit in reads in variable
    block mode. If SILI is set, reading a block shorter than the byte count does
    not result in CHECK CONDITION. The length of the block is determined using the
    residual count from the HBA. Avoiding the REQUEST SENSE command for every
    block speeds up some real applications considerably.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
