[If so, I'll send-pr a correction] ccdconfig manufactures a disklabel when you create the stripe, so you don't need to adjust the disklabel. The subdisks must have disklabels, and you can't use the C partition since ccd only uses partitions of type 4.2BSD. > Also, "newfs -v /dev/ccd0c" yields > > newfs: /dev/rccd0c: `c' partition is unavailable > > but "newfs /dev/ccd0c" works. Why is this? ccds are goofy. They're not real devices. If the tutorial says to newfs rccd then that is a problem. My tutorial needs rewriting anyway, I'm not sure it works on 3.X anymore. It completely ignores the existence of fdisk -e, for starters, and the sysinstall options have moved. fdisk -e is _too_ useful. > Finally, the CCD homepage at http://stampede.cs.berkeley.edu/ccd/ > seems unavailable. Is this temporary or permanent? CCD is deprecated by vinum.
