  • 2.7 Trying to compile Ftape gives me the error "modversions.h: no such file or directory"
  • 2.8 What is this versioned symbols stuff anyway?
  • 2.9 I seem to be getting sftape instead of zftape. When I run "ftmt status" command, I get output that the Ftape docs says corresponds to sftape ( /dev/qft0: Invalid argument ). Why?
  • 2.10 My Ditto DASH/FC-20/Exabyte Accelerator card works under Microsoft Windows, but I get a drive not found type of error in /var/log/messages when trying to use it under Linux.

  3. "Using Ftape" related questions !

  • 3.1 How fast is Ftape ?
  • 3.2 When I write to some of my tapes, they seem to spend a lot of time "shoe-shining," or repositioning instead of streaming. Is something wrong with my system?
  • 3.3 Do I have to reboot to the DOS world to format tapes?
  • 3.4 Is it possibly to format Ditto 2GB tapes with ftape?
  • 3.5 Is it possibly to format Ditto Max or Max Pro tapes with ftape?

  • 3.7 Is it ok that I'm not hearing the tape move when I do a fsf or a bsf with mt?
  • 3.8 Why does my XYZ backup program complain about "Invalid argument" errors?
  • 3.9 I/O errors and FDC - some explanations.
  • 3.10 Why do I get "/dev/qft0: No such device" errors?
  • 3.11 I get "device busy" when I make multiple backups on a tape using some script.
  • 3.12 How do I "..." with tar?
  • 3.13 What block-size should I use with tar ?
  • 3.14 Where can I find the tar/mt/cpio/dd binaries - sources - manpages?
  • 3.15 If I use tapers compression, is it a bad idea to use the compression with zftape, or would it be better to not use tapers compression, and let zftape do it?
  • 3.16 How does zftape compression compare to say gzip -9?
  • 3.17 I don't trust compression, but hear that the sftape interface is going away. What should I do?
  • 3.18 Ftape says "This tape has no 'Linux raw format"
  • 3.19 Can I exchange tapes with someone using DOS?
  • 3.20 How does `mt eom' work when you've started overwriting a tape in the middle?
  • 3.21 When I made backups before using taper, under the 2.0.29 ftape my drive didn't support fsf, under the new zftape it does, why would this be, and what exactly is fsf ?
  • 3.22 What exactly is the difference between ftape, and zftape?
  • 3.23 What is the difference between a rewinding, and non rewinding drive?
  • 3.24 Can someone tell me how to use mt to rewind my TR-3 drive one record using zftape record, so I can verify it?
  • 3.25 By non-rewinding, they mean that it doesn't automatically rewind, correct? It doesn't mean that under no circumstances it will rewind, right? I tried using /dev/zqft0, and it instantly rewinds the tape.
  • 3.26 What is the difference between what mt considers a record and what it considers a file?
  • 3.27 Reusing tapes with zftape without reformatting the tape.
