Thanks, Jon. I'll give that a try. The reason I assumed that it was sg1 is due to these lines from my dmesg: Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 03 Lun: 00 Vendor: QUANTUM Model: DLT7000 Rev: 2561 Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 and... Attached scsi generic sg2 at scsi1, channel 0, id 3, lun 0, type 1 QUANTUM DLT7000 sure looks like the tape drive, no?
