I have a Cybernetics tape library (SCSI) with tape drive (also SCSI). I'm attempting to test it with simple commands like tar -cvf /dev/tape0 /somedir. This gives a list of files ,then "write 0 of 1024 blocks, error not recoverable"
If i use mt -f /dev/tape0 status I get "operation not permitted). The tape device (see cat /proc/scsi/scsi below) is id 0 on host 1 while the library is ID 1 on host 1. The /dev/sg1 is linked (by gentoo) to the /scsi device so I created a link /dev/tape0 to /dev/sg1. lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 36 Jan 14 10:01 /dev/sg1 ->scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/generic Why does mt tell me the operation is not allowed? The /scsi entries have the correct permissions. I'm doing this as root - any ideas? This system is using the devfs file system.
