Can you confirm that the serial_num attribute that udev sees matches the
contents of /proc/scsi/IBMtape?
udevadm info --attribute-walk --name /dev/IBMtape5|grep serial_num
If it does, you might try restarting udevd, though I've had to resort to
reboot when udev just doesn't want to notice that
Hi Skylar,
