The Ftape Installation and Usage Guide - zftape devices
/dev/rft*', `/dev/nrft*'
There were only eight device nodes provided by the ftape-2.x
resp. sftape driver VFS front-end. These were
`/dev/rft0' to `/dev/rft3' and `/dev/nrft0' to
`/dev/nrft3'. The minor device number of theses devices codes for
the rewinding/non-rewinding (see Rewinding and non-rewinding devices) mode and the drive selection method
(see Drive selection) only.
For ftape-4.04 these are synonymous to `/dev/qft*' and
`/dev/nqft*' which use the same major and minor device numbers. The
shell script
[/usr/src/ftape-4.04/]scripts/MAKEDEV.ftape
creates the former as symlinks to `/dev/qft*' and `/dev/nqft*'
(see Installing ftape) for compatibility reasons.
