    Posted by Mauro Moreira on May 13, 2016 at 3:37 am

    Hello, i`m learning about LTO and testing with my Quantum Superloader 3 LTO 6.
    I tried Yoyotta LTFS solution and after the BRU PE.
    I formated a tape in YoYotta to LTFS and now i want to format to BRU and reuse the tape, is that possible?

    Thanks.

    You can do that using the BRU PE tool “tapectl” from the command line like this:

    tapectl unltfs

    That will remove the LTFS partitioning and return the tape for normal use as a data tape for any non-LTFS application.
