Hi,
I'm using the ftape drivers in the 2.2.5-ac3 kernel.
Does that correspond to 4.02?
I considered downloading 4.03-pre2, but haven't done it yet.
I noticed last night that I couldn't unload my ftape modules, so I rebooted
this morning and loaded fewer of them.
Only ftape, zftape, and tpqic02 are loaded now.
Ftape-tool recognizes the drive and I can get the correct size and do a listing
of the drive.
So, I try xbru and it refuses to recognize the drive.
I've put the info in via the gui and via text editor directly to /etc/brutab.
I even commented out the defaults in there and it flat refuses to offer my tape
as a device to backup to.
I'm using the personal edition which came w/RH 5.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
BTW, I tried writing to it w/tar, but it hung after the first three files in
the directory I was backing up.
Hope this is enough info.
Sincerely,
Rodney Fisk
