I have a backup spooling onto a DLT drive. Is there any tool that will let me monitor the data throughput on the device?
Based on all of the conversation this question generated, it sounds like the answer is "no". Interesting discussion, tho. :)
Thanks for all the suggestions.
You can use iostat which is part of the sysstat package.
yum install sysstat
You can set up an interval and a count and have it redirected to a file for later reference
iostat 10 20 >> filename

But tapes are character devices and iostat only shows block devices. If there isn't much else happening the read values on the source drive might be close enough, though.
