It depends on if you are only initializing the tape or also doing a 'clear'. Just a initialize should only take a minute or so, but with the 'clear = yes' it could take up to 3 hours.

Yep, I don't remember exactly but is nearly 3 hours or so...

Anyone know how long it takes an Ultruim 4 tape to initialize?
On a new 8203 with the built in tape drive (type 5746). I've been
sitting here for almost
2 hours and it still initializing. Maybe I'm just too impatient...
