       | Interesting. The readme says every new LTO-9 tape needs
       | initialized before it is used for the first time, and that takes
       | anywhere between 20 minutes and 2 hours.
       | 
       | I presume this tool can't decrease that time for an individual
       | tape, but it decreases the total time with a huge degree of
       | parallelism.
       | 
       | I wonder, what is that degree of parallelism? That is, how many
       | tapes can be initialized at once? I presume it's large but I'm
       | not familiar with 'tape libraries'.
       | 
       | Also, to the author: have you thought about putting an explicit
       | license on your script?
