tlug: scsi tape issues




OK, I got this brand new DDS-3 scsi dat drive.  I got some 124m tapes for
it.  every time I try to write to one, I get 'read-only filesystem'
errors.

If I pop the tape out, it says, "no media found"... st module is loaded,
scsi driver sees the tape drive.  What's going on?  I'm using /dev/st0 for
the tape device (/dev/nst0 does same thing).  Trying /dev/[n]st{123456}
gives the correct 'device not configured' error.

Should I just try some 90 or 120 meter tapes?
