Subject[ANNOUNCE] ftape-3.04d
From
Date
I'm happy to announce the availability of ftape-3.04d

Version 3.04d merely is a bug fix release and doesn't add new features
to ftape-3.04.

The only changes since 3.04c are the correction of a typo (#elsif ->
#elif) and a bug fix where zft_reset_position() needs to be called
when overwriting tapes containing archives created with older
(i.e. 2.08) versions of ftape.

What it is
==========

ftape is a floppy tape device driver for Linux.

ftape-3.x developed as the re-unification of the stock ftape-2.x driver
written by Bas Laarhoven and the enhancements/modifications I had
implemented in a separate development tree called "zftape".

ftape-3.04d is implemented as a stack of two kernel modules:

ftape.o - hardware driver (MANDATORY)
zftape.o - VFS front-end (MANDATORY)
zft-compressor.o - user-transparent on the fly compression (OPTIONAL)

A set of kernel patches to upgrade the 2.0.32 and 2.1.65 kernels to
ftape-3.04d are available from
