Today, I tried to compile ftape 4.02 under 2.2.0. It fails in the
beginning of the build when it can't find a header file for the ext (not
ext2) filesystem. I'll append a brief log below. I don't have the skills
to track this problem down myself, but hopefully this will give you enough
information to make a working patch. I'm assuming this will be a quick
fix, as I can't imagine that this driver would actually use the extended
filesystem code anywhere, but it's odd that nobody ever tried to compile
this with the devel (2.1.x) kernels -- this would have been found then.
Any fixes are appreciated!
Thanks,
David Carter
Here's the relevant part of the compile run:

In case it matters, /usr/src/linux is a symlink to
/usr/audio/src2/linux-2.2.0, so it *is* trying the correct directory.
