I've tried it (Linux RHEL master) with some SAN media server types running 
Windows.

I've had mixed success, but I'm suspecting it's a configuration issue.

My setup scrambles the tape inventory, so I get a horde of frozen tapes because 
it gets mismatched between what it thinks is the right inventory and the 
barcode on the tape once it hits the drive.

Oddly, when I set it up on our Oracle linux boxes, they work fine, just the 
Windows ones sharing tape drives from a linux master.

What's been your more recent experience sharing tape drives (Ultrium 5) between 
Windows & Unix (AIX/Linux) media servers?
