Hello, Does anyone have the ftape driver working with a centos5 machine, specifically with a 2.6.18-8.18-8.el5 centosplus kernel? I've got a situation where it is needed and haven't been able to find anything related to kernels beyound 2.1 on it, not sure if that's still current, if not i'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks. Dave.

ftape support was deprecated in 2.6.20.

In the CentOS 5 (2.6.18) kernel, I do not see ftape as a valid (settable) option.
