You might also find the following udev rules useful. Put the following in
/etc/udev/rules.d/60-persistent-storage-tape.rules (path may be different
for different distros, this is for opensuse).
# this file must have the same name as the file in /lib/udev/rules.d that
sets up the tape permissions, otherwise this file won't override the
defaults
SUBSYSTEM=="scsi_generic", ATTRS{vendor}=="DELL", ATTRS{model}=="PV-124T",
SYMLINK+="library_pv-124t", GROUP="disk"
KERNEL=="nst[0-9]*", SUBSYSTEM=="scsi_tape", ATTRS{vendor}=="QUANTUM",
ATTRS{model}=="ULTRIUM 5", SYMLINK+="drive0_pv-124t", GROUP="disk"
This creates symlinks for the right devices and sets the group permissions
to disk, which is what the RPMs in the dassit repository for openeuse want
given who the daemons run as. Note that this is only with 1 drive in our
library, you may need to modify for a second drive.
