I have a Iomega Ditto Max on my linux server, and I'm trying to install
ftape in order to access to it.
I had some difficulties in this.
The versions involved are: ftape: 4.02; linux kernel: 2.2.13
It seems to me that the ftape version 4.02 is not made for being built
under 2.2.x kernel: in fact:
1) compiling the modules, I got in some points an error regarding a
member ("timeout") of a structure (that I found is "task_struct",
defined in <include_dir>/linux/sched.h). The error makes impossible to
build the modules. I tried to bypass the problem modifying the include
file (adding a "timeout" field in "task_struct"), but this is not the
correct way to proceed!
2) the structure of version 4.02 is different from that of version 3:
so, even substituting the version shipped with the kernel with the 4.02,
running "make menuconfig" brings to an error in the make procedure. Even
the kernel symbols are different.
On the other hand, as I know, ftape 3.xx is not able to drive ditto max
streamer.
Could anyone help me?
Thank you
Fabio Lissandrini
