[ILUG] blocksize for a DLT drive?

[ILUG] blocksize for a DLT drive?

Just to clarify: this is a Novell-formatted disk (whatever that means)
that I have no intention of ever having to restore ever again. I'm
turning the Netware box into a Linux box and transplanting the data
elsewhere, but I want to have an emergency backup that can just be
smooshed straight back into a properly-sized partition and "just
work".

This is, of course, marginally insane, but hey.

Cheers,
Waider.
