Hello

I want to use the LTFS ordered copy to have better copy performance than other methods in Rocky Linux 8.10.

I get an error the error below when I try to evoke the 

$ /opt/ibm/ltfssde/bin/ltfs_ordered_copy -p -r -a -v '/mnt/49c57912-2bd6-4f31-a2b7-6df585bc9f40/LOWDEN_PIX' '/mnt/ltfs/sg1' 
Tape order aware copy for LTFS
Check destination:startswith first arg must be bytes or a tuple of bytes, not str

The error seems to be a python error from what I understand from my web search.

Is there any solution to this please?
