  • 1.  RHEL 9.6 and lin_tape

    Posted Tue May 27, 2025 12:30 PM

    So, once again:

    Newest RHEL version is now 9.6 and the newest lin_tape driver cannot compile.

    When to expect an updated lin_tape driver?

    Last release of lin_tape was in February and took approx. 5-6 months to include the support for 9.5; a new level will probably be released in the next couple of months.
