I'm trying to use the ftape driver in 2.1.8x. It seems to write
files out okay (using the builtin compression), but when I try to read back
the volume I get "tape read error: Invalid argument" with dump-0.3-11
(RedHat 5.0). I can't cat the device either; get Invalid argument there,
too. Is there something I'm doing wrong or is ftape broken?

Also, ftape appears to be the only driver that sets it modules with
use-counts of -1. Doesn't that seem bogus?

thanks,
-bp
