How do you monitor the performance of a character device (e.g. tape drive)?

Solution 1:

I found a SystemTAP script for SCSI tape devices:

http://sourceware.org/systemtap/wiki/WSiostatSCSI

I haven't tried it; don't know what kind of shape it's in.

Solution 2:

As I know, HP has a program which can check HP tape device's performance. You can find it on here

I guess other tape device vendors also have similar tools for monitoring tape device's real time status. You can check their website for this kind of applications. Good luck.
