Yes, your picture showed it did work, Then I've tested with more Windows machines (XP & 2003), some worked while some not, it seems a random problem, or I have not perceived what problems happended to those windows, I've also tested with SCST, with which all LUNs can be defined specificly, TYPE_RAID (0xc) can be used as the first LUN or not, it has scst_disk, scst_vdisk, scst_raid, all can be used alone, combined freely.
