I have a 3+3GB ccd drive on cvsup.de.freebsd.org myself using two (though slow) quantum 3GB scsi drives attached to ncr controllers and despite of occasional scsi command timeouts which I havn't tracked down yet, it's working nice. BTW, how does one increase an existing 6GB ccd drive on the fly' (I mean without backing up the data) ?
