Upgrading to Ubuntu 20 LTS tape nst0 devices missing

[Brock Palen]

I upgraded to Ubuntu 20 and Bareos 21 today (thanks BTW)

I couldn’t conenct to the SD, but when I run it with debug I find it can’t open /dev/nst0 /dev/nst1 etc.

lssci shows the drives and their sg device and /dev/tape/ is there, but NST missing

root@myth:/var/lib/bareos# lsscsi -g
[0:0:0:0] disk ATA SAMSUNG HE253GJ 0001 /dev/sda /dev/sg0
[1:0:0:0] disk ATA SEAGATE ST4000NM NS00 /dev/sdb /dev/sg1
[2:0:0:0] disk ATA WDC WD2002FAEX-0 1D05 /dev/sdc /dev/sg2
[3:0:0:0] disk ATA CT500MX500SSD1 023 /dev/sdd /dev/sg3
[4:0:0:0] cd/dvd PLDS DVD-ROM DH-16D5S VD15 /dev/sr0 /dev/sg4
[6:0:0:0] tape TANDBERG LTO-4 HH U619 - /dev/sg5
[6:0:1:0] tape HP Ultrium 5-SCSI Z21H - /dev/sg6
[6:0:1:1] mediumx TANDBERG StorageLoader 0495 - /dev/sg7


Any idea why that would be? Also if so how to fix it or are any of the other device types for tape acceptable? I just know that nst doesn’t auto rewind,

Thanks

Figured it out, for some reason the Ubuntu do-relase-upgrade to LTS 20 pulled an kernel that appears to be speciic for ibm’s cloud. Amazed it even boot (this is not a vm) and it didn’t have the st driver/module.

I had to force install the linux-image-generic and force uninstall linux-image-ibm reboot and all is well.

Very odd, update failure on the Ubuntu installer. *Shrug*
