Linear Tape File System

Abstract

SNIA's Linear Tape File System (LTFS) Technical Work Group is focusing technical efforts on the development of an architecture that is related to the on-tape format for LTFS. The architecture also produces a comprehensive set of specifications ensuring a consistency of interface standards across LTFS related efforts.

LTFS refers to both the format of data recorded on magnetic tape media and the implementation of specific software that uses this data format to provide a file system interface to data stored on magnetic tape
