Also curious that I cannot mount a tape on /dev/nst0 even though nothing is mounted.

I loaded 16 tapes and configured them as Drive1 (/dev/nst0) and Drive2 (/dev/nst1) but am only showing 8 tapes regardless of the Drive number I specify.

I'm only seeing /dev/st0? Should I specify /dev/sg1 in my sd conf file instead?

All fd,sd and dir daemons are running. I have exactly the same LT04 autoloader. # lsscsi -g [0:0:0:0] disk Areca ARC-1220-VOL#00 R001 /dev/sda /dev/sg0 [0:0:16:0] process Areca RAID controller R001 - /dev/sg1 [1:0:0:0] tape QUANTUM ULTRIUM 4 2210 /dev/st0 /dev/sg3 [1:0:0:1] mediumx DELL PV-124T 0075 /dev/sch0 /dev/sg4 [2:0:0:0] cd/dvd TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S223C SB01 /dev/sr0 /dev/sg2 You will note that the tape (ULTRIUM 4) and autoloader (PV-124T) are on different devices. On my machine, I address the tape at /dev/nst0, while the autochanger is at /dev/sg4. You can try the following stanza (assuming the correct tape and autochanger device paths and nothing is currently loaded in slot 1): export ADEV=/dev/sg4 export TDEV=/dev/nst0 mtx -f ${ADEV} status && mtx -f ${ADEV} load 1 && mt -f ${TDEV} status I'm using the tape library on a SAS card and achieving about 100MB/s throughput with hardware compression.
