You'll still need a file system on the ccd, though. Maybe you could play 
with `newfs -S2048 ...', but I would be really scared to do so. I get a 
feeling that many many applications assume 512-byte sectors.

Try it. :)

Or would I be faced with 
the same limitation because of the large disk size.

Don't think so, since a decent raid controller should be "transparent", 
but I'm almost not even qualified to guess.
