Subject: scsi-ide bridge LUNs
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.
I am no SCSI expert... but the only use to which I've seen SCSI LUNs put is
in multi-tape backup units and CD changer units. (I have a 5-disc Nakamichi
SCSI CD changer somewhere... it might be 6-disc. No matter.)
The LUNs in this case refer to the unique media installed in the device.
