i've just checked 'man ccdconfig' on both 2.2-current of last
year sometime, as well as my current 3.0-current machine, and both state:
A ccd is described on the command line and in the ccd configuration file
by the name of the ccd, the interleave factor, the ccd configuration
flags, and a list of one or more devices. The flags may be represented
as a decimal number, a hexadecimal number, a comma-separated list of
strings, or the word ``none''. The flags are as follows:
CCDF_SWAP 0x01 Interleave should be dmmax
CCDF_UNIFORM 0x02 Use uniform interleave
CCDF_MIRROR 0x04 Support mirroring
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
CCDF_PARITY 0x08 Support parity (not implemented yet)
The format in the configuration file appears exactly as if it were en-
tered on the command line. Note that on the command line and in the con-
figuration file, the _f_l_a_g_s argument is optional.
