[ILUG] blocksize for a DLT drive?

While were on this, and slightly OT

anyone know the default bloackm size in openserver 5.0x with CPIO? 
I'm thinking of increasing to 64K blocks to increase perf, but I think it
can go to 512, not too sure.

---------------
As it turned out, adding "bs=1024k" improved things dramatically. I'm
just reading back the tape now before I trash the drive.

Cheers,
Waider.
