@ Phil right the output of mt -f /dev/st0 status is: -

SCSI 2 tape drive:
File number=-1, block nymber=-1, partition=0.
Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x0 (default).
Soft error count since last status=0
General status bits on (50000):
DR_OPEN IM_REP_EN

I should think so as we have 2 other servers running ClearOS 5.2 and one has a 
DLT tape drive whilst the other has a DAT72 and I have managed to get them to 
work.

@ drescherjm - There are no error messages. I am not sure if you have used 
ClearOS, but once you install Bacula you get the LAN Backup/Recovery option and 
in there you can select Advanced Configuration, there is an option to configure 
storeage. Now on both the other 2 servers I have set up, when you select the 
storage device it shows it's media type as DLT and DAT respectively. On this 
server however, it shows the device as File, which is incorrect.

I'm not 100% sure that media type and device type should be LTO3, LTO, LTO-3 or 
even Tape as I can't seem to find any official reference to such devices in the 
Bacula documentation. Google is usually your friend, but on this occassion it 
hasn't given up the goods.

Cheers
