Even though system has tape drives, there are no device files in
/dev/tape/by-id for tape drives. (There are for autochangers/libraries.)
Could udev be enhanced so that tape drives also have entries in /dev/tape/by-id?
Other newer Linux operating systems like SuSE and RedHat do this.
I think the changes in question would be to 60-persistent-storage-tape.rules.
