ftape support was deprecated in 2.6.20.
===================================+What: ftape
+When: 2.6.20
+Why: Orphaned for ages. SMP bugs long unfixed. Few users left
+ in the world.
+Who: Jeff Garzik <jeff at garzik.org>
===================================
In the CentOS 5 (2.6.18) kernel, I do not see ftape as a valid
