Anthony, I'm starting to get into HP LTFS after getting an Ultrium 3000 Ext Drive connected to a HP DL 365 G5 Server using a HP P411/512 card.
I actually tried first off using a Citrix Xen Server 5.6 host with the idea of sharing the LTFS to a dedicated Virtual Machine client. However I was unable to get the necessary Tape Driver software (cpq_cciss) for the version of CentOS that Xen uses working. I can see the tape drive (/dev/st0) quite happily, but no matter what I do I can't get LTFS to work :-( I'm going back to the idea of using a dedicated (physical) machine running Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS connected to the Ultrium 3000 via a P212/256 and was going to ask you what the process was for you to get yours up and going ? One of the issues I struck with Xen was that I was not able to get fuse loaded into the kernel (even compiling it from source). I am not sure if its because it is loaded in by default and just not listed or whether something else could be wrong. I am yet to tackle the physical server so I may be OK, but thought I'd double check with you as you indicate that you had no problems. Any advice appreciated.
