I am currently experimenting with ccd(4) and although it appears to
work, I am uncomfortable with one point.
I have configured 2 partitions as a JBOD (interleave 0). However, the
first of these partitions is partition 'a' of one disk. So the first
effect I had was that ccd0 appeared to have the same disklabel as the
first disk.
I read through the mailing list archives and found a thread explaining
that the disklabel is stored around the beginning of partition 'a' and
that one should allocate a small partition 'a' which should not be made
part of the JBOD.
What I am uncomfortable with is that
1) this does not appear to be documented in the man pages anywhere
2) that the size and position of the disklabel of partition 'a' is not
clearly stated anywhere so that I can be certain that it doesn't get
overwritten and that I am not wasting too much space.
Can anybody please shed some light on this?
