I believe this depends on the ccd configuration. If you want to mirror, you need to have partitions of the same size. I don't believe this restriction applies to stripes, though it should, nor to simply concatenated ccds, which is correct. >> Also, am I supposed to boot from a CD-ROM or so forth in order to >> do the CCD?

Well, in fact you can, as long as you don't try to change the length of mounted partitions. >> If I am heading toward the wrong direction (which I am >> suspecting to be...), please point me to the right direction. :) > > I would suggest you try using vinum over ccd.
