Normally I find the man pages very help full, but I could not understand what is meant by (from man ccd) :
Each component partition should be offset at least one cylinder from the be- ginning of the component disk. This avoids potential conflicts between the component disk's disklabel(8) and the concatenated disk's disklabel. Could someone explain please. I did get "ccdconfig" to construct a mirrored ccd for me. It would have been nice if "man ccdconfig" had pointed out that you have to do a disklabel and newfs on the ccd0. And some more information on the "interleave factor" would be helpful. The disklabel seemed to be garbage when the ccd was created, so I deleted the part ion that was defined, and recreated a new one (starting at offset 63) like a normal disklabel. And everything seemed to work. I expect the paragraph above was referring to the offset of 63 at the beginning of a disklabel, which I also have no understanding of why there is always an offset of 63.
