[H-GEN] LTO-6 tape robots that work with the mtx command under Ubuntu Linux.

One of my clients has a Tandberg StorageLoader 8 tape LTO-5 tape robot.
It's now time to update to a LTO-6 robot. The StorageLoader has worked
fine except for one problem - it's immune to scripted tape changes.
Using the standard mtx command will perform a tape change, but then the
mtx command will crash, and will fail for subsequent commands. From
what I can tell, Tandberg has taken the common "Red Hat Enterprise
Linux is the only one we need to support for Enterprise" approach,
their drivers probably work fine on RHEL.

So for the next tape robot, I really want one that is known to work
fine with mtx running under Ubuntu LTS Linux. Are there any?
