Erwann Simon sent me the two tech notes below.

However, the lin_tape installation did not create anything like them, not even 
the /lin_tape/by-id directory structure.

Does anyone out there have a udev .rules file to create such an animal?

I've tried to make one, but can't get but one device to be created.

Thanks for any help.
