linux media server devices

[thepallace]

The tape device do show up in proc/scsi but when I run the make_scsi_dev command only the /dev/sg files are created and not the /dev/st files. This is the first media server we're deploying on our envirnonment. Any idea? Thanks

#>cat /proc/scsi/scsi

Which version Linux & NB are you using ?

I had same problem, with RHEL 4.0 with NB 5.0

So, I installed NB 5.1 with MP 4, after that I ran the make_scsi_dev it worked.
