I tried ccd, and it seems to work well, but how does it work with bad sectors (of which I know there are on one disk)... Does bad144 -v -s /dev/wd2s1 work for it? How does vinum work with it? And; I couldn't find how to get vinum working for mirroring - is that possible? (striping and concat results in almost the same). (striping with vinum was btw much faster than ccd!) I also wonder because vinum has to use 'unused' for its slices. BTW: how can I check if bad144 really worked? Can I get a list of bad blocks on my harddisk marked as BAD so I can check it really did something? With -v I saw too much crap, also that there were "double entries" or something... Thank you!
