I don't mean to sound argumentative, but why shoul SCIS LUNs matter
here?  I know USB comes across as SCSI disks, but why should the USB
system care about them -- why wouldn't the USB interface simply
present itself as two disks, sda and sdb for instance?

I am not worried about one of the two disks dying.  I intend to use
two of them, one as backup.  Of course, backups aren't foolproof, but
I have other backups too.
