Thanks for pointing that out.
I've had so many problems with this, I just assumed this to be another
strange error and did not even notice the medium not present
message.... duh!!!!.
Also, I think load is not the right word to use since mt cannot load a
tape, it must be done manually or by a robot.
Precisely. Use 'mtx' to have the robot load the tape. After the tape
drive goes through its (automatic) loading cycle, the tape will be ready
for use. 'mt status' can confirm that. Furthermore, at least with my
Overland robot, 'mtx unload' automatically does a 'mt offline' to eject
the tape. So running 'mt' manually is pretty rare, really.
