Subject: FTAPE 0.9.5 problem Please help From: levinson@vax.sonoma.edu Date: 4 Sep 1993 20:07:47 -0800
I have ftp'd the .99pl12 kernel source in its entirety and have gotten the
ftape0.9.5. I patched the .99pl12 source and re-built the kernel. On bootup,
it does say that buffers are allocated for the tape drive.
I then compiled insmod and rmmod (the docs say there is supposed to be a lsmod,
but I don't see it). I then rebooted and compiled the sys_hello.c and tested
the system call. By typing ./hello, it worked and displayed Hello World. I
then rmmod and it said it removed it.
My problem is this, while making the tape stuff, I received several messages
saying "RCSid Defined but not used" I would imagine it is a declared variable
that is not used.
My other problem is that when I type userft I get a message:
Opening Tape: No such device
What is the problem? Am I supposed to have an ftape device in my /dev
directory? I have a Conner Archive 250MQT QIC80 tape drive hooked to my
floppy.
Any suggestions?
