Description
thanks for LTFS compiles nicely also for Debian 12 :D
[+] it actually works :D
[+] it is faster than 1:1 copying data via dd? (where is data beeing buffered cached?) (ok restore via rsync has to do a lot of seeking)
question:
-
is it possible to create a gigantic LTFS out of many tapes = spanning multiple tapes?
-
if yes: how to do that?
-
is it possible to create a LTFS RAID1 like volume?
-
(multiple tapes but 2x tapes are keeping the same data and checking each other against corruption of data)
-
is it possible to create a LTFS RAID10 like volume?

Review the LTFS implementation and format support to determine whether one volume can span multiple tapes or provide RAID1/RAID10-style replication. Document which of the requested configurations are supported, impossible, or would require a new design, and explain the result in the issue.
