No. Those are standard SCSI LUNs. use the LCD panel to config the LUNs and the AutoRAID will arrange for shifting data from RAID 1 to RAID 5 as it sees fit. > Has anyone tried Linux on one of these AutoRAID systems?

Right? In general, SMP is working. AFAIK, K-class only had issues with console support and some recent issues with GSC 53c720 support. I've forgotten details. :( grant _______________________________________________ parisc-linux mailing list parisc-linux@lists.parisc-linux.org http://lists.parisc-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/parisc-linux
