Thanks for explaining how to check the ATTRS value! The rules file works
well now. Awesome!

Normally you do something like this[1]:
# udevadm control --reload-rules && udevadm trigger

I ended up figuring out on accident my udev rules file did work, I had just
been trying to test it by restarting the service but it took a full reboot
for the new rules to get loaded. This was what I did:
*> cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-scsictrldev.rules*
*SUBSYSTEM=="scsi_generic", SUBSYSTEMS=="scsi
I tried creating a new rules file based on the existing tape rules but I
didn't have any luck making it work and I didn't know how to debug what I'd
done. I ended up creating this bash script to create the symlinks and it
worked so I think I'll call it good:
*#!/bin/bash*
*#create persistent dev
This is the rules file, I will have to spend some time going through it.
Thanks.

Ah I see, you need the /dev/sg* equivalent for the /dev/st* in use.
Can you copy the udev rules that produce symlinks for the autochangers
(see link in my last post) a
There are symlinks for the archive devices but not the tape drive control
devices which is what the tape alert commands need. I did already have it
set to use the symlink for the autochanger at least so that won't jump
around.
