Dear Alan, you are sooooo right. On a multi partition library it is not enough to just 'put that thing in'. I needed to add the drive to the (single) partition. # mtx -f /dev/sg1 status Storage Changer /dev/sg1:2 Drives, 29 Slots ( 5 Import/Export ) Data Transfer Element 0:Empty Data Transfer Element 1:Empty Storage Element 1:Empty:VolumeTag= Storage Element 2:Empty:VolumeTag= Problem solved, thank you very much! PEBCAK.

It's SAS not SCSI, I may not change the IDs.
