Doesn't say on that man page that the disk can't be mirrored, and if you look in the man page for ccd.conf, it specifically delineates that it can be done, and further, I can speak with some authority since I use it in that mode, that it mirrors partitions just fine, with some 20GB's or so mirrored at any given instant at my location. YMMV.
