(ccdconfig -c ccd0 /dev/sd0a /dev/sd1a) I would like to load the kernel from /dev/sd0a and do a ccdconfig -C before mounting the root r/w. The questions: Does CCD mirrored devices need some space on the harddisk for itself? Can I use the original partitions after mirroring? (I tried a fsck /dev/rsd0a, which failed) How do I notice, if one partition of the mirrors go bad and what happens then? Can I use the remainder partition ? Can I extract the files from the valid partition? What if I reboot and only have one part of the mirror? Could we have some model of initiating the mirror with one half and adding the second half? Bye! ---- Michael Reifenberger
