I did some quick reading of udev documentation yesterday. However, I
don't see how to exactly do it. A symlink for tape isn't going to work
(/dev/st0 and /dev/sg1 use different set of IOCTLs, "mt -f /dev/sg1
rewind" is going to give an error for example). For the medium changer,
kernel doesn't create any special device (there's no special driver for
it, such as st for tapes or sd_mod for disks), the only way of accessing
it is through /dev/sg0.
Unless I missed something obvious in documentation, and there is a way
to tell udev "when kernel detects a device controlled by st module (char
major 9), also create device nodes for sg module (char major 21)".
Aren't the tape and the autochanger using different SCSI IDs or LUNs?
Try this:
Manually load the sg module so that the sg devices get created.
What do you then get for:
$ udevinfo -a -p `udevinfo -q path -n /dev/sg0`
and
$ udevinfo -a -p `udevinfo -q path -n /dev/sg1`
