Hi  :)

~ Found this FAQ about 'ftape' :-

<	How to configure and use ftape (REF#981030-0030)
   Description:
   I can't configure the streaming tape using ftape. There is no
/dev/ftape, or
/dev/nftapeentry. insmod ftape reports no   errors.

   Solution:
   To create the dev's for ftape do a makedev qft0 (rewindind device)
and
makedev nqft0 (non-rewinding device)

   Then load the ftape module, insmod ftape

   You should then be able to tar to either of the above devices,
/dev/qft0 or
/dev/nqft0	>
_________________

BUT, When I give the command 	makedev qft0	I get the reply
'command not found'

Can someone kindly tell me How to make this Device ?

Thanks  :)

cheers
