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.

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. :(
