I had not tried it, but I obtain something consistent to the mentioned one above: backup:/boot# lsscsi [3:0:0:0] disk ATA ST3160211AS 3.AA /dev/sda Apparently neither tape drive nor changer is being detected. I know that SAS disks are seen as SCSI devices (sd*), but external SAS devices are also seen as SCSI devices? Independent of it, is always the name of the special file of device /dev/[n]st* for the tape drive and /dev/sg* for changer? All these results presented are with Linux 2.6.26-2 from Debian repositories. Responding to what has been said by James Harper, this kernel has the CONFIG_CISS_SCSI_TAPE=y option.
