Permissions on the /dev files:
Code:
crw-rw---- 1 root disk 21, 2 Jul 28 12:15 /dev/sg2
crw-rw---- 1 root disk 9, 0 Jul 28 12:14 /dev/st0
also note that I have this exact configuration running on about 150 or so servers deployed on RHEL3
this is fun, I installed mt-st on it, and am able to send commands to the tape drive, like
mt -f /dev/st0 eject and it works O_O;; so I am at a total loss now

Would seem odd why the mt command would work and others would not. If I remember the specs of that controller it is LVM correct? If so then are you using a LVM cable with a LVM terminator?
Only other thought is there may be an issue with the controller driver module with your kernel. Which kernel are you using?
Check out the changelog files on that kernel at www.kernel.org as well as a few previous ones and later versions. There may be an issue with that particular issue. If you are running say 2.6.16.7 then check that changelog as well as 2.6.16.4 - 2.6.16.10.
The thing I would try is download the latest kernel which last checked was 2.6.17.6 from www.kernel.org and build that one. See if that helps. Sometimes those precompiled kernel rpms if that is what you are using may lack certain things for high end type cards.
To build your own check this link out. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...36#post1401136

Yes, it is the correct cable.
at this point it will be faster to just throw an ES image I have on it, than configuring, building, and loading a kernel.
