Hi,

You have probably added an external SCSI tape drive. SCSI tape drives are named /dev/st0, /dev/st1 ... (do a man st to see more informations). To see which SCSI devices are instaled on your system do a cat /proc/scsi/scsi command. For dynamic addition of SCSI devices see:
http://rampex.ihep.su/Linux/linux_howto/html/tutorials/SCSI-Programming-HOWTO-4.html

and tapes are not mounted.
