I'm using both regular vinum and ataraid on the production server (which
runs a fairly recent -CURRENT). They both work fine, and ataraid even
updates the metadata for the Highpoint RocketRAID 454 correctly (so that
arrays show up in the BIOS config).

I was under the impression CCD didn't to "normal" RAID-0, but instead =
used
some sort of interleaved concatenated mode that resembled RAID-0 for =
some
use-cases. If I'm wrong then that makes the number of choices 5 instead =
of
4. :-)
