MT_ST_SYSV sets the SYSV semantics (mode)
MT_ST_NOWAIT enables immediate mode (i.e., don't wait for
the command to finish) for some commands (e.g., rewind)
+ MT_ST_SILI enables setting the SILI bit in SCSI commands when
+ reading in variable block mode to enhance performance when
+ reading blocks shorter than the byte count; set this only
+ if you are sure that the drive supports SILI and the HBA
+ correctly returns transfer residuals

compiled into the driver)
