Hello
Thank you for your reply.
I have not got the lftsservice working as such but I did manage to get the LTO tapes to mount in the end.
I had to launch the ltfs command directly where the ltfs file is ... which on my installation was
/opt/ibm/ltfsde/bin/ltfs
I also had to put the device path which for me was /dev/st01 and not the path in the mount command example.
Thank you

Hi,
The service definition of `ltfssde.service` is NOT usable for mounting the filesystem. It is just installed for forcibly unmounting LTFS tape at unexpected server power off. You need to use the `ltfs` command to mount the tape as a filesystem.
1. See https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/spectrum-archive-sde/2.4.5?topic=system-installing-upgrading-from-binary-rpm-file for installing and configureing your search path

Hello
I am trying to install linux ltfssde-2.4.5.1-10503-RHEL8.x86_64.rpm file on Rocky Linux 8.8.
I have no issue with the install but I am unable to get the service running...

Does anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong?
