I've trying to get ccd set up on my home box with a pair of large drives, but
every time I try to newfs the ccd the machine crashes.  I've gone through my
setup a number of times (I'm working from the instructions at
http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/diskformat/diskformat.html) but can't see
what might be going wrong.  I'm including all the seemingly relevant info I
can below.

From dmesg:
wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa
wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <Maxtor 91728D8>
wd0: 16479MB (33750864 sectors), 33483 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S
wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa
wdc1: unit 0 (wd2): <Maxtor 91728D8>
wd2: 16479MB (33750864 sectors), 33483 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S

The labels of the two drives after changing the drive type:

---

I noticed that the drive geometry set by `disklabel -r -w wd0 auto` (and on
wd2) is slightly different than that reported by the drivers at boot.  Is this
a possible source of trouble?  


Setting up ccd0 goes well:

[mattp :: 13:44:29]
flux:/usr/home/mattp# ccdconfig -Cv
ccd0: 2 components (wd0c, wd2c), 67501696 blocks concatenated

---
#
# /etc/ccd.conf
# Configuration file for concatenated disk devices
#

# ccd      ileave      flags      component devices
ccd0       0           0          /dev/wd0c /dev/wd2c
---

Finally, the newfs itself:

[mattp :: 13:45:22]
flux:/root#  newfs /dev/rccd0c
Warning: 384 sector(s) in last cylinder unallocated
/dev/rccd0c:    67501696 sectors in 16480 cylinders of 1 tracks, 4096 sectors
        32959.8MB in 1030 cyl groups (16 c/g, 32.00MB/g, 7396 i/g)
super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at:
 32, 65568, 131104,[crash here]


Can anyone suggest what might be causing this?  I'm completely at a loss at
this point.

Thanks!
   Matt
