Can you confirm that the serial_num attribute that udev sees matches the
contents of /proc/scsi/IBMtape?
udevadm info --attribute-walk --name /dev/IBMtape5|grep serial_num
If it does, you might try restarting udevd, though I've had to resort to
reboot when udev just doesn't want to notice that
Hi Skylar,
Yes, all drives are LTO drives (SAN attached). I tried your procedure, but it's
