The st module was already loaded so I removed it and reloeaded using modprobe. I still have /dev/st0, but for some reason I can't write to it. I'm logged in as root, and the permissions for /dev/st0 are: crw-r--r-- 1 root root 9, 0 Aug 4 17:23 /dev/st0 I haven't rebooted yet since there are still active users. Hopefully I can reboot over the weekend. Many thanks.
