Good morning.

I have been trying to my Dell LTO-120 SCSI Tape Drive on Arch without success.

I have tried to run $ modprobe st, but still, I have no /dev/st0 and neither /dev/nst0. dmesg | grep -i tape shows nothing too.

Is there anything I'm missing here? Dell's user manual says that the drive should work out of the box on linux.

Please paste your dmesg output somewhere. The SCSI controller that connects the drive is probably not even recognized.
