I think permissions are the most likely problem; that'd cause mt |
| 23 |
to be unable to open the device - many utilities don't |
| 24 |
differentiate between being unable to open something and that |
| 25 |
something not existing. |

Gavin; default Gentoo udev rules set the group of st devices to |
| 28 |
'tape' (see /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules' so add your user id to the |
| 29 |
tape group. |
