No lines for SDLT320 in the st.conf. I patched Solaris 2.6 to provide support
for
the 320, meaning st should support it without changes to st.conf. I checked a
Solaris 9 server and it didn't have any lines for 320 even though it has two
SDLT320
drives attached.

No output in /var/adm/messages.
I still want to schedule a reboot of the server to see if it recognizes the
drive
as an SDLT instead of the Exabyte M2 when issuing an "mt status" command.
I also want to try to override the capacity and see what Networker does.
Currently,
Networker thinks its a DLT with 100GB capacity - I'd override with 160GB during
the
label of the tape.
