Hello,

I confirm that Bacula is not working with IBM lin_tape driver. Thanks to
Mariusz description I know the reason.

It is a Linux SCSI Tape driver, not a lin_tape driver mentioned by Mariusz.

Maybe it will be a simpler and most efficient approach for Bacula community
to handle this (not so broken) lin_tape different behavior then force to
fix this driver. Maybe we can add a configuration parameter to the Device
resource which will handle this. It should not break current Bacula code
(default will be a standard way) and allow smooth integration with
lin_tape. What do you think about it?
