Thus spake Rick Knebel <rknebel@uplink.net>:
Hi,
I have a old HP Colorado T1000 tape backup on my machine which I want to use with arcadeia to do backups.
Do I have to rebuild the kernel to get support for this or can I just load some modules?
Thanks Rick
I'm relatively new to SuSE, but it appears that SuSE, like other linuxes, ships with the older versions of ftape, and it is not compiled into the kernel. According to the ftape docs, this is correct. But you should get the latest (3.04d) version and *then* compile it as a module. Can't see a reason to recompile the kernel. Someone jump in if I'm wrong here. Paul M.
