The "lin-tape" or "lin_tape" means the driver name of IBM ULTRIUM-HH5 tape 
drive.
I've download the lin_tape-1.38.0-1.src.rpm from IBM website. But I can't 
compile it in Debian 5.0.4.
The SAS HBA driver is "mpt2sas", it was installed in my system, successfully. 
Then I could use "mt -f /dev/st0 status", but I got error message like "read 
error.. " if I type " mt -f /dev/st0 tell". 
Under this situation , it could write by "tar" command, but show "write 
error..." after several hours.
If I connect the tape drive to a machine of CentOS with right driver, it show 
"/dev/IBMtape0" as the device name, and I could have right answer by "mt -f 
/dev/IBMtape0 tell"

So. I need some help. If anyone have any suggestion to help me install the tape 
in Debian OS?
