I have an ACARD AEC-7720U that I have been using in a VS4000/90 with
good results. I am trying to compare different versions of NetBSD. I
would like to split a 30GB IDE drive into 4 or so logical units. I don't
know much about SCSI really, but I believe that it is possible to divide
some drives into individually addressable logical drives, sort of like
partitions, but at the hardware level.
Can somebody enlighten me on SCSI LUNs, at least as far as they apply to
dividing disks? Does SCSI define how to divide a disk, or is that
proprietary to the drive? Since in my case the bridge is the "drive"
would I need a specific utility from ACARD for this?
