Ah, thanks for that jolt. Forgot about figuring out what package a file belongs to. Looks like both hdparm and mt-st have files in the /etc/udev, so I tried reloading hdparm, and that updated permissions in /dev. I am now trying to label the tapes, but it appears that bacula is hung trying, this is where I've been for over 10 minutes: *label barcodes Using default Catalog name=MyCatalog DB=bacula Automatically selected Storage: Exabyte Connecting to Storage daemon Exabyte at dinah:9103 ... In answer to other questions, mtx and mt-st both work from the command line, and the tape changer is definitely /dev/sg0, and the tape drive is definitely /dev/st0 thanks again, Maria ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
