Hmm, AFAIK, the DLT4000 drives don't have read-after-write verification, so
you'll probably want to make sure you have backups on at least two tapes,
and have verified them before wiping all the data from the machine.  I
managed a couple of the 4ks in a pair of jukeboxes a few years ago, and I
ran into several instances where I had to go to another set of backups
because the first tape had a read error on it.

Your drive should be showing up as /dev/st0 -- do "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" to
see what devices are detected on your bus.
