for example:
mt -f /dev/st0 status
/dev/st0: Input/output error
mt -f /dev/nst0 status
/dev/nst0: Input/output error
when I run command without a tape in I get:
mt -f /dev/nst0 status
SCSI 2 tape drive: File number=-1, block number=-1, partition=0. Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x0 (default). Soft error count since last status=0 General status bits on (50000): DR_OPEN IM_REP_EN-Tape drive: HP SureStore T4i
