I've already got the FUSE driver (udofs-1.1-92.i386.rpm, based on

we use a SCSI robotic changer in conjunction with an HSM system
(Legato DiskXtender 2.9) which needs some kind of direct access to
the drive. It probes for /dev/nst*, but I guess /dev/sd* would also
work.
I'm a little confused here. Tape devices have variable sector sizes.
I believe they're required to handle up to 64K in a unix environment.
The drives I work on go up to 256k.
Tapes are different. The UDO drive that Johann was asking about is an
optical _disk_ drive...
Yeah, I got that. I wasn't going to say anything until he mentioned using
the tape driver with it. Is the UDO drive presenting itself as a tape or
as a disk?
