Is the operation performed on slices or partitions? If slices, does it have to be set to sysid 165? If partitions, does it have to be in the FFS format? I ask because I'm not sure how the word "partition" is used in the manpage, is it suppose to mean a slice (as in DOS partition) or the partition of a slice? Also, I'm intrigued by the following passage: Note that the `raw' partitions of the disks should not be combined. The kernel will only allow component partitions of type FS_BSDFFS. Does this mean ccd will only accept FFS partitions? Could msdos partitions, be concatenated or mirrored for example? Also, why does it say "the keryenl will only allow", isn't it ccd which allows? Lastly, if ccd doesn't act on raw partitions, does that apply to vinum also? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
