Package: ftape-util
Version: 1:1.07.1999.03.17-2
Severity: normal
ftformat dies after running the format and trying to begin the verify.
It tries to reopen the device "to clear the mmap status of the dma
buffers", but cannot do so, as it receives a "device busy" error on
reopen due to the dma buffers it still has mmapped. The dma buffers
are not used after the format procedure is done, and can safely be
munmapped before the call to the reopen.
Also, ftformat will die if the "format-filler-byte" parameter is
specified without the mode being set to force, even if the value
specified is the one ftformat itself would choose had the parameter
been unspecified.
Here is a patch:
