The Ftape Tools Manual - Configuration
The vtblc
and the ftmt
program come with a small DejaGnu
test-suite. See The GNU testing framework (info file dejagnu). However,
the tests require a spare tape cartridge which will be erased as a side
effect of the test runs. The tests are disabled by default.
Repeat: you need a spare tape cartridge, all data will be erased.
Of course, you need also a floppy tape and a working ftape driver
for running the tests. Some tests will fail with ftape-2.x because
ftape-3.04d (and later versions) corrects some bugs in the file system interface of
ftape-2.x. See Changed MTBSF
and EOM
semantics (info file ftape-4). See MTBSF (info file ftape-4).
