only one option affecting operation (to eject the cartridge from the drive once the format has been

The UnformatWizard may request administrative privileges to execute (depending on

system security policies and settings).

Using the ltfsattr utility

HP Store Open Standalone version 2.2.0 onwards includes the LTFSATTR utility which can be used
to access the attributes from the LTFS volume. It is a Windows command line utility which provides
similar functionality to the “attr” command in Linux and the “xattr” command in Mac OS X.

Running the ltfsattr utility with no parameters gives the usage information.

ltfsattr -h

Usage:

ltfsattr -p attrname [-v] filename

ltfsattr -w attrname attrvalue [-v]

filename

ltfsattr -l [-v] filename

ltfsattr -x attrname [-v] filename

ltfsattr options:

prints the usage information

-h

reads and displays the value of attrname

for filename with -v, also displays the

filename and the attribute name

-p

writes attribute attrname with value

attrvalue for filename with -v, provides

confirmation (otherwise silent on success)

-w

lists the user attributes for filename with

-v, also lists the values (otherwise just

the names)

-l

deletes attribute attrname for filename

with -v, provides confirmation (otherwise

silent on success)

-x

NOTE:

Filename may also refer to a directory or folder name.

NOTE:

This utility manipulates extended attributes in conjunction with HP StoreOpen software

and should only be used in that context with a mounted LTFS volume.

HP StoreOpen Cartridge Browser

HP StoreOpen Standalone version 2.2.0 onwards includes a Windows GUI utility to view the
contents of LTFS index files. Users can select a folder which contains LTFS index files and the utility
will list all the index files in that folder. The user can then open a detailed view displaying the
contents of any index file.

NOTE:

This utility does not interact with the tape drive or the StoreOpen software. Instead, it is

an independent tool for viewing the stored LTFS index files which are generated when an LTFS
volume is mounted and unmounted.
