[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup 0/4] better handle lto9 format

since lto9 formatting a tape does an non-optional 'media optimization'
pass, which can take up to 2 hours. For our 'fast format' we instead
now do our fallback mechanism of doing an 'ERASE' instead, and only
for a 'slow format' we actually call 'FORMAT'.

the last patch is only cosmetic, so that on a slow format the users
know that this takes place and can take a while.

Dominik Csapak (4):
  tape: add optional timeout to wait_until_ready
  tape: derive PartialEq and PartialOrd for TapeDensity
  tape: adapt format_media for LTO9+
  api: tape: add lto9 initialization message to task log
