 No. The SU is the more granular entity, you can divide it. A class will
use a SU, which means all available drives in this SU.

 Yes. Actives jobs will remain active til they complete. The priority applies
to the jobs waiting in the queue. Jobs with higher priority will be picked
up when a stream becomes available.
