My old posting to the scsi mailing is below (prefixed with >)
I found the script that causes the generation of the error message.
Any suggestions how to avoid it and load the right module ?
Is the module st needed ? or is the mt command enough ?
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
# If a SCSI tape has been detected, load the st module unconditionally
# since many SCSI tapes don't deal well with st being loaded and unloaded
if [ -f /proc/scsi/scsi ] && cat /proc/scsi/scsi | grep -q 'Type:
Sequential-A
ccess' 2>/dev/null ; then
if cat /proc/devices | grep -qv ' 9 st' ; then
if [ -n "$USEMODULES" ] ; then
# Try to load the module. If it fails, ignore it...
modprobe st 2>/dev/null
