Linear Tape File System (LTFS) is a filesystem to mount a LTFS formatted tape in a tape drive. Once LTFS mounts a LTFS formatted tape as filesystem, user can access to the tape via filesystem API.
Objective of this project is being the reference implementation of the LTFS format Specifications in SNIA (https://www.snia.org/tech_activities/standards/curr_standards/ltfs).
At this time, the LTFS format specifications 2.4 is the target. The LTFS format specification 2.4 is now under public review (https://www.snia.org/tech_activities/publicreview#ltfs).
These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

make install
./configure --help shows various options for build and install.
You need to add --enable-lintappe as an argument of ./configure script if you want to build the backend for lin_tape. You also need to add DEFAULT_TAPE=lin_tape if you set the lin_tape backend as default backend.
Before build on OSX (macOS), some include path adjustment is required.
brew link --force icu4c
brew link --force libxml2
On OSX (macOS), snmp cannot be supported. Need to disable it on configure script.
./autogen.sh
./configure --disable-snmp
make
make install
