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

+Who:	Jeff Garzik <jeff@xxxxxxxxxx>
====================================

In the CentOS 5 (2.6.18) kernel, I do not see ftape as a valid
(settable) option.
