After installing FC5, I don't see /dev/tape showing up as a symlink to /dev/nst0 anymore and it disappears after a reboot if I add one manually to make mt and amanda work. The tape drive wasn't attached when I installed - would that make a difference? /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules does have an entry: KERNEL=="nst[0-9]", BUS=="scsi", SYMLINK+="tape-%k", MODE="0660" and I do have /dev/nst0. Does it need something else?

Actually it is making tape-nst0 -> nst0, but that doesn't help much.
