ftape-4.03 no longer supports automatic compression with the lzrw3
algorithm. See Compatibility with ftape-3.04d.
However, decompression of archives produced with ftape-3.04d (and earlier versions) is still supported in order to preserve compatibility with existing backups.
When the ftape-4.03 driver is used with these device nodes, it treats the cartridge as write protected, as writing of compressed volumes is no longer supported.
