Here's my ccd's disklabel entry: ccdx32:\ :ty=winchester:dt=SCSI:rm#5411:\ :se#512:nc#2416:nt#125:ns#48:\ :oc#0:pc#14496000:\ :ob#2:pb#287486:tb=swap:\ :od#287488:pd#503808:td=4.2BSD:\ :oe#791296:pe#2801664:te=4.2BSD:\ :of#3592960:pf#5402624:tf=4.2BSD:\ :og#8995584:pg#5496832:tg=4.2BSD: I've been told that you're better off not using a ccd partition for swap, but I haven't gotten around to dumping everything, repartitioning the raw drives, etc., to do swap partitions on each drive.
