The content which is incorrect is taken from the following URL:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ccd.html#CCD-SETUP
Which states the following in Section 12.9.2:
---SNIP---
This opened up the current disklabel on each disk respectively in whatever editor the EDITOR environment variable was set to, in my case, vi(1). Inside the editor I had a section like this:
8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
c: 60074784 0 unused 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 59597)
I need to add a new "e" partition for ccd(4) to use. This can be a copy of the "c" partition. Once I was done, my disklabel should look like this:
8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
c: 60074784 0 unused 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 59597)
e: 60074784 0 unused 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 59597)
---SNIP---
The error is in the last line shown above.
The newly added 'e' filesystem is shown as type 'unused'. This
is incorrect; it needs to be type '4.2BSD', otherwise ccdconfig(8)
will fail.
If the actual Handbook has the correct filesystem type of '4.2BSD'
then someone should update the Handbook on www.freesbsd.org. :-)

Excellent; thanks!
