I suppose you mean that you can't use it?

It might be necessary to initialize the drive like my Ecrix:
mt -f /dev/st0 setblk 0
This sets the drive into variable block size. I've put this line at
the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local.
And I have to specify the block size when I use tar. Therefore I have
defined two aliases in my .bashrc:
alias ntar='tar -b 128 -p -v -f /dev/nst0'
alias star='tar -b 128 -p -v -f /dev/st0'

You should have a look on the support websites of the manufacturer of
your drive.
