Firmware update fails as follows:
Still researching. This is the only LTO5 I have access to so unless Shane has one I may not be able to make progress.
(Its way long out of warranty and support)
We mostly use this for generic st driver and changer testing for RHEL and it has not been updated for at least two years.

Hello Emanuel
I am using this device, its an Ultrium 5 (LTO5)
Its an older changer and I am unable to update the firmware, still working on that.
What version of mt are you using, as I am testing using a RHEL7.2 base and the upstream patched kernel.
Linux example.redhat.com 4.3.3 #1 SMP Tue Jan 5 15:58:47 EST 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
# tapeinfo -f /dev/st0

Drive is working fine,

Tape block size 512 bytes. Density code 0x58 (no translation).

This is what I get when I try and partition and I believe this may be a firmware issue for me.

What is the type of drive exactly? I still couldn't test with the LTO-5
drive as the machine it's connected to is being reinstalled.
