Let's say I have a bunch of small hard disks lying around... let's say I had four 40 MB'ers, maybe one 100 MB... maybe even an old 250 MB or so... and eight 20 MB disks (hey, I upgraded a lot of machines)... then I can use the ccd driver and slap them all together to make a single (in this example) 670 MB logical "disk"? This would be extremely cool, since I have a similar situation. Is this available under FreeBSD yet?
