Can not mount LTFS!

Hi,

 

I have an Ultrium 3280 SAS tape drive.

The system is RHEL5.5 x64.

Tape drive firmware is X38D/Standalone.

 

Here is what happens :

mkltfs successfully formats the LTO5.

 

[root@localhost ~]# mkltfs -f -d /dev/st0
LTFS15000I mkltfs starting, log level 2
LTFS15003I Formatting device '/dev/st0'
LTFS15004I LTFS volume blocksize: 524288
LTFS15005I Index partition placement policy: None

LTFS12503I Drive type is HP LTO5, serial number is HU1027B5C3
LTFS15010I Creating data partition b on SCSI partition 0
LTFS15011I Creating index partition a on SCSI partition 1
LTFS12516I Tape was formatted by Application Name LTFS                            
LTFS11097I Partitioning the medium
LTFS11100I Writing partition labels
LTFS15013I Volume UUID is: cca1737c-5cc7-4b95-b599-bc94f3afbf3f

LTFS15017I Writing Index to partition b
LTFS15017I Writing Index to partition a
LTFS15019I Volume capacity is 1536 GB
LTFS15024I Medium formatted successfully

 

When it comes to mount the tape ltfs does not work :

there you go:

[root@localhost ~]# ltfs /mnt/lto01/
LTFS14000I LTFS starting, log level 2
LTFS12503I Drive type is HP LTO5, serial number is HU1027B5C3

[root@localhost ~]#

 

Any ideas?
