Hi all,
I have just installed ftape-4.03-pre-1 and tested it with
Iomega Ditto Easy parallel port drive. It seems this release
is much better, I could work with tape and do a small backups
(and I figured out that previous version of ftape destroyed
a cartridge, and it seems no way to recover it).
But during large backup (just 43 MB total) I got "Segmentation fault"
after approximately 2/3 of data. During backup I saw a plenty of error
messages in /var/log/messages (fragment included). As a result,
backup was lost (ftape updates tape header at the end, I presume ?).
But cartridge still alive.
