Re: external tape drive
What Linux version do you use?
What type is your tape, how is it connected?
Is "st" loaded, check with "lsmod"
Any /var/log/messages?
What says dmesg?
Does it show up in "lsscsi" and /proc/scsi/scsi?
Thats the first points to check.

Re: external tape drive
What Linux/Kernel version is it?
Can do do a "rescan-scsi-bus.sh" if available ( www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/rescan-scsi-bus.sh)
or
# echo "- - - " > /sys/class/scsi_host/host${i}/scan
with ${i} the appropriate number for your scsi-bus.

Re: external tape drive
As asked above provide us version of OS and which Linux distribution are you using here.
Also what is backup software and what you see in that for verifying tape drive.
