    bug #103642: Remove the deltpfil() function · da83dd24
    Steven Murray authored
    Removed the deltpfil() function that deletes files from the end of a tape in
    order to leave the tape terminated with a correct label structure.  The
    deltpfil() function increases the risk of data loss in a system that uses
    deferred tape flushes.  When appending data to the end of a tape the
    deltpfil() function has been made redundant by the fact that the stageri
    always instructs the tape system to position to the end of the last file
    successfully written to tape as opposed to requesting a tape drive to position
    to end of data.
