I use a lot of tapes but never a USB, but from my knowledge I would try lsusb then read the output and look at the id's, find the one that has the usb tape drive attached to it, then use lsusb -vv and find the matching id to get more info. You could also try: modprobe usb_storage then modbrobe st and then do "lsmod | grep storage" "lsmod | grep st" that they are loaded (st should require to load the scsi stuff too). You could also look into /dev and look at the major numbers (from memory 9 is tapes??). ls -al /dev/tape/by-id and ls -la /dev/.udev and look through all of those. check whether there is something with "usb-st" or so. jobst On Tue, Mar 02, 2010 at 06:13:01PM +0300, Muro, Sam (research at businesstz.com) wrote: > Hello there > I have been trying to install HP Storageworks DAT72 on CentOS 5 in vain. > On system reboot, neither /dev/st not /dev/sg is available.
