You are right! /dev/sg0 yields some ATA nonsense, but /dev/sg1 tells me it
is an Exabyte 1x10 1u. I will give it another try.
FWIW, I am making some assumptions about the identity of the tape drive in
there. tapeinfo -f /dev/st0 or /dev/nst0 shows nothing and requires CTL-C to
relinquish the command prompt. /dev/st1 gives an error.
tapeinfo does not work with st devices. Only sg devices.
mt -f /dev/nst0 status
should show something if bacula did not lock the drive.
