Hi!
I can't make it work with the ftape version 4.02 ????
Can you help ????
Here's a sample of /usr/adm/messages after a tar cvzf /dev/ftape *

I've stopped the backup with Ctrl-C. I've also tried several tapes before
writting this e-mail. I've tried to format a tape with "ftformat", it also
failed....
Note: Kernel version 2.0.33
What should I do to make it work ?
