All I really did was create a symlink in /dev from the
tape device (/st/c1...) to /dev/tape0 or /dev/tape0n. For
some reason this symlink persists. There are no entries
for tapes in /etc/devfsd.conf.
Do I understand you to say that I should put events in
/etc/devfsd.conf that deal with the tape devices? What
events do I need - Lookup, register, unregister? Copy
should be covered by the copy .* and restore portions of
the /etc/devfsd.conf file already to give me persistance
across boots.
Is that what the /etc/devfsd.conf file is for - to put
additional devices in so that devfsd will see them/
Thanks.

Another way to put it: let devfsd manaqge /dev, that's
what it IS there for. Instead of ln -fs in /dev update
/etc/devfsd.conf using, say, "tape" as a template for
the changer device -- all you really need to do is hack
"tape" for "changer" (whatever) and "tape/0/mt" for the
device path to the changerizer.
