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, users
can access to the tape via filesystem API.
===> The following configuration options are available for ltfs-2.4.6.2:
DEBUG=off: Build without optimization and extended debug flags
SNMP=off: SNMP trap support
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
This only works with IBM Enterprise Tape, or IBM-branded LTO-5 and newer tape
drives, although there is a file backend for simulation purposes.
You will only be able to read and write tapes with a blocksize <= MAXPHYS,
which is 128KB by default. Put the following in your kernel config file and
recompile/reinstall to allow reading and writing tapes up to the maximum LTFS
blocksize of 1MB:
options MAXPHYS=(1024*1056)
filesystems: add new category for file systems and related utilities
The filesystems category houses file systems and file system utilities.
It is added mainly to turn the sysutils/fusefs-* pseudo-category into
a proper one, but is also useful for the sundry of other file systems
related ports found in the tree.
Ports that seem like they belong there are moved to the new category.
Two ports, sysutils/fusefs-funionfs and sysutils/fusefs-fusepak are
not moved as they currently don't fetch and don't have TIMESTAMP set
in their distinfo, but that is required to be able to push a rename
of the port by the pre-receive hook.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

sysutils/ltfs: Update to 2.4.4.0
Port changes:
Add options for DEBUG and SNMP, reformat.
ltfs changes:
* Support LTO9 drives
* Fixed and improved MAM handling in cases where MAM might not update
correctly during write errors, so that LTFS correctly searches for the
latest index position of the tape for these cases.
* FreeBSD 12 build fix
Changes: https://github.com/LinearTapeFileSystem/ltfs/compare/v2.4.3.1-10461...v2.4.4.0-10470
Fix spelling mistakes, typos, poor wording, hyphenation, jargonisms,
contractions, "<portname> is ..." cases, missing Oxford commas, and
other miscellaneous style bugs in the COMMENT line.
New port: sysutils/ltfs: LTFS for stand alone tape drive
Add a new port for the FUSE based LTFS reference implementation
