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 ?
