lsmod | grep usb_storage
• The output of this command should contain a line similar to:
usb_storage 61193 0
• If this line is not present, type:
modprobe usb_storage
at the command line to load the usb-storage driver.
2. st tape driver
• At the command prompt type:
lsmod | grep st
• The output of this command should contain a line similar to:
st 35933 0
• If this line is not present, type:
modprobe st
at the command line to load the st driver.
If you experience any problems using branded cartridges, check:
• The cartridge case is intact and that it contains no splits, cracks or
damage.
• The cartridge has been stored at the correct temperature and humidity.
This prevents condensation. See the insert included with the tape cart-
ridge for storage conditions.
• The write-protect switch is fully operational. It should move from side to
side with a positive click.
