I have a RHEL WS 4 Update 1 machine with a DLT drive attached. A user
wants to use it, but is encountering some weird behavior from mt.
The device shows up in dmesg, the module is loaded, and /dev/st0 and
/dev/nst0 exist. tar -tvf will successfully list the contents of a tape
in the drive. However, 'mt -f /dev/nst0 tell' fails with 'no such
device'. Normally I would suspect that the tape drive doesn't have this
capability, but this command worked just fine with the machine's former
Redhat 7.2 install. mt's other functions, including rewind, etc. appear
to be working fine.
Any ideas?
