"Which tape devices work with Linux?" is a question increasingly being
asked.  The Linux Tape Device Certification Program, a TOLIS Group community
service, has been completely revised and updated to answer that question.
The results of the tape device testing for Linux compatibility are posted at
linuxtapecert.org.

Under this program, tape device manufacturers such as HP, Seagate, Exabyte
and others submit current and unannounced drives for Linux compatibility
testing.  Manufacturers whose drives pass the suite of tests are then
awarded use of the "Linux Compatible for Backup" logo - trademarked by Linus
Torvalds - for use on their product materials.  There is no charge for this
service.
 
"Linux International welcomes the type of inter-company cooperation that
is embraced by the Linux Tape Device Certification Program provided by the
TOLIS Group," said Jon "maddog" Hall, Executive Director. "Just as members
of Linux International were instrumental in forming the Linux Standards
Base, so the TOLIS Group delivers leadership by performing this hardware
testing service for the Linux community."

linuxtapecert.org also contains a wealth of pertinent, time-saving technical
information about the nuances of configuring select drives for performance
and compatibility under Linux.  Compatibility testing is done at the Linux
kernel level, and does not involve TOLIS' data protection solutions.
