Hi, I just wanted to announce that the new ftape 3.03a floppy tape driver supports formatting of tapes. Formatting takes really loooooong but I needed it for a faulty tape. Thanks to Claus-Justus Heine zftape and the old ftape are merged and enhanced (module locking does function, formatting is supported). For the 2.0.30 kernel there is a debian package in unstable/utils. Please note that this driver is bleeding edge software and don't blame anyone if there are still problems (there weren't any problems for my setup). If you encounter problems, I would be happy if you would report via our bug system (see http://www.debian.org for more info).
