From the man page of ccd: ccd has an option for a parity disk, but does not currently implement it. and In an event of a disk failure, you can use dd(1) to recover the failed disk. As I understand vinum & ccd (please correct me if I am wrong), this will keep ccd from ever achieving the performance and ease of use of vinum. I use vinum for a simple mirror, and found it easier to configure than ccd. Keeping it from running in 5.0 would probably kill a lot of setups.
