New Revision: 325371
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/325371

Log:
  Add the LTO-8 Type M density code (0x5d, LTO-8M) to libmt and the
  mt(1) man page.
  
  LTO-8 Type M (also known as M8) is a pristine LTO-7 cartridge
  formatted in a LTO-8 drive in a new, higher density format.  It
  has a separate density code, and is only readable in an LTO-8
  drive.
  
  lib/libmt/mtlib.c:
  	Add the LTO-8 Type M density code to the density table
  	in libmt.
  
  usr.bin/mt/mt.1:
  	Add the LTO-8 Type M density code to the density
  	table in the mt(1) man page.
