Have you looked at /proc/scsi/scsi? My tape drive shows up like this: [root@lh2 i386]# cat /proc/scsi/scsi Attached devices: <snip> Host: scsi2 Channel: 00 Id: 06 Lun: 00 Vendor: HP Model: C5683A Rev: C104 Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 <snip> Also, when you try to access your tape drive, does mt report any errors, and do any messages show up in /var/log/messages?
