Re: Ftape: Where did my file go?

[Michael Gersten]

AAAUUUGGGHH!!!!!

Bug in ftape 3, and vtblc:
Vtblc may look like it rewinds the tape before printing the volume contents.
It doesn't.

Neither does the ftape driver force the non-raw device to be rewound
after writing data and prior to opening the raw device.

In summary:
Running vtblc after dumping data to the tape will LOSE the data
that you dumped to the tape


AAAUUUUUUGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!

(Well, time to load ftape 4.03-unstable and see how it works :-)
