Oracle's free open source StorageTek Linear Tape File System (LTFS), Open Edition software [10] is claimed to be the first to store 8.5TB (native capacity) on a single cartridge. It supports Oracle’s midrange StorageTek LTO 5 and LTO 6 tape drives from HP and IBM as well as Oracle’s StorageTek T10000C and T10000D tape drives.
Since LTFS is an open standard, LTFS-formatted tapes are usable by a wide variety of computing systems. The block structure of the tape is logical so interblock gaps, file marks, tape marks and so forth take only a few bytes each. In LTO-1 and LTO-2, this logical structure has CRC codes and compression added to create blocks of 403,884 bytes.

The IBM Ultrium 6 technology is designed to support media partitioning, IBM Linear Tape File System (LTFS) technology and encryption of data and WORM cartridges. [ 41 ] TS2260 – Half-height external standalone or rack mountable shelf unit with a native physical capacity of 2.5 TB.
LTFS (Linear Tape File System for LTO and Enterprise tape) MVFS – MultiVersion File System, proprietary, used by IBM DevOps Code ClearCase. Nexfs Combines Block, File, Object and Cloud storage into a single pool of auto-tiering POSIX compatible storage. OverlayFS – A union mount filesystem implementation for Linux.
The IBM implementation of this file system has been released as the open-source IBM Linear Tape File System — Single Drive Edition (LTFS-SDE) product. The Linear Tape File System uses a separate partition on the tape to record the index meta-data, thereby avoiding the problems associated with scattering directory entries across the entire tape.
Tape was an important medium for primary data storage in early computers, typically using large open reels of 7-track, later 9-track tape. Modern magnetic tape is most commonly packaged in cartridges and cassettes, such as the widely supported Linear Tape-Open (LTO) [1] and IBM 3592 series.
Linear Tape File System: Allows files stored on magnetic tape to be accessed in a similar fashion to those on disk or removable flash drives. NTFS-3G and Captive NTFS, allowing access to NTFS filesystems. retro-fuse: retro-fuse is a user-space filesystem that provides a way to mount filesystems created by ancient Unix systems on modern OSes.
