Dear Julian, In order to execute 'tapeinfo' in Linux you need to make sure the 'sg' module is loaded. This is the generic scsi module and can be loaded as follows:
modprobe sg You can check it's loaded with: lsmod | grep sg You can force this to be loaded at boot time by adding it to /etc/modules (I think - I don't have access to my debian machine at work to check). Please note that not having this module loaded _may_ cause problems with Bacula (at least it will if there is an autochanger involved). Lastly, keep trying - don't give up.
