I've just started experimenting with disk striping for my news server 
with some good and some bad results.

Here's the config:

% cat /etc/ccd.conf
ccd0    256     0       /dev/sd0e       /dev/sd1e

 % df -ik
Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity iused   ifree  %iused  
Mounted on
/dev/sd0a      347647   249330    70506    78%    9202   75276    11%   /
procfs              4        4        0   100%      21     159    12%   /proc
/dev/ccd0c    3362574  2493205   600364    81%  604079 1085519    36%   /usr/local/news/spool


The hardware consists of a pair of 2.1 ST32151W drives on an AHA-2940UW 
controller.

Everything works a-okay for a day or two, then the machine freezes for no 
apparent reason (usually during the expire), no error messages in the log 
or on the console, it just locks up, but...

the same hardware was in use without CCD for a while, and it worked well, 
no freezing.

The operating system: FreeBSD 2.1.5-Release was in use in both cases.

Suggestions welcomed!
