There ya go. Quirks. Gotta love 'em.

Quirk time!

Uh, actually, when I said SCSI controller, I didn't mean the SCSI bus
(esp0), I meant the controller as in the card that drives the disk
drive. Currently, most, if not all, manufacturers ship disks that have a
one-to-one disk-to-controller mapping; I'd like it if there were some
that at least could split 2 disks (LUNs) for one controller (Target).
