The Ftape Installation Guide - zftape devices
/dev/rft*
', `/dev/nrft*
'
There were only eight device nodes provided by the ftape-2.x resp. sftape
driver VFS front-end. These were `/dev/rft0
' to
`/dev/rft3
' and `/dev/nrft0
' to `/dev/nrft3
'. The minor
device number of theses devices codes for the rewinding/non-rewinding
(see Rewinding and non-rewinding devices) mode
and the drive selection method (see Drive selection) only.
For zftape these are synonymous to `/dev/qft*
' and `/dev/nqft*
'
(which use the same major and minor device numbers). The shell script
MAKEDEV.ftape creates the former as symlinks to `/dev/qft*
'
and `/dev/nqft*
', see Installing ftape for compatibility
reasons.
