RE: [Mtx-general] Problem with Dell PowerVault 128T Tape Library

damn forgot the /proc/scsi/scsi, but here it is:

Was wandering if it could be because I've connected to the external SCSI
ports on the raid controller?

What does 'tapeinfo -f /dev/sg5' report? It sounds to me that you might have
a
kernel without LUN support, and thus /dev/sg5 isn't what you think it is.

That's what makes it appear to me that it's a LUN issue and you're issuing
te
command to the wrong device. See the FAQ at http://mtx.badtux.net for more
info. Also, the contents of /proc/scsi/scsi would be very helpful if there
is
not a LUN issue.
