The Ftape Installation and Usage 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 ftape-4.05 these are synonymous to `/dev/qft*
' and
`/dev/nqft*
' which use the same major and minor device numbers. The
shell script
[/usr/src/ftape-4.05/]scripts/MAKEDEV.ftape
creates the former as symlinks to `/dev/qft*
' and `/dev/nqft*
'
(see Installing ftape) for compatibility reasons.
