So i have installed pbs on top of proxmox, but it cannot detect my tape drive.

If i run "proxmox-tape drive scan", i dont get anything.

What could i check ?

udevinfo looks good, you could try to simply add it manually and see if it works with

proxmox-tape drive create <name> --path /dev/tape/by-id/scsi-10WT005251-sg

if that does not work, could you paste the whole output of 'dmesg' ?

Scratch that. I rebooted the node (after installing pbs on it), and it now shows up.
