The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDETAPE
has multiple definitions:
drivers/ide/Kconfig
The configuration item CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDETAPE:
(none)
ide-tape
If you have an IDE tape drive using the ATAPI protocol, say Y. ATAPI is a newer protocol used by IDE tape and CD-ROM drives, similar to the SCSI protocol. If you have an SCSI tape drive however, you can say N here.
You should also say Y if you have an OnStream DI-30 tape drive; this will not work with the SCSI protocol, until there is support for the SC-30 and SC-50 versions.
If you say Y here, the tape drive will be identified at boot time along with other IDE devices, as "hdb" or "hdc", or something similar, and will be mapped to a character device such as "ht0" (check the boot messages with dmesg). Be sure to consult the drivers/ide/ide-tape.c and Documentation/ide/ide.rst files for usage information.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called ide-tape.
