I think I'm starting to get ccd, but I just wanted to run this by you
all before I try it. I don't want to hurt anything.

I have two Maxtor IDE drives: a 3.2G Diamondmax (UltraDMA), and a 2.1G
CrystalMax (Not UDMA). My controllers don't support UDMA anyway. I just
want to make sure I can do the following.

Suppose I partition the disks like this.

	3.2G			2.1G
	----			----
	64M swap		64M swap
	2.1G-64M /usr1		2.1G-64M /usr2
	64M /
	remainder /usr

The idea, of course, is to get two file systems, /usr1 and /usr2
that are the same size.

Then I'll do an ordinary install onto / and /usr, ccd /usr1 and /usr2.
Finally, I'll  move the /usr stuff to the ccd and mount it on /usr 
resulting, I hope, in better performance from my disks, and I'll use the
former /usr partition just for sources and ports distfiles.

Does this make sense?

I'd appreciate any pointers--good options to ccdconfig for the intended
use, for example.

Thanks.

Greg
