The man pages (ccd and ccdconfig) have failed to help me get it to work. ( I think there is a bit of required knowlege it's assumed I have, that I don't yet posess. Don't you just hate newbies?? :) ) I'm trying to ccdconfig 2 Conner 80M IDE drives to get a feel for how this works. If I wreck anything, nothing's lost. I'm able to partition, label, newfs, and mount these drives individually, if I wan't to, so I'm pretty sure all is OK hardware- wise. I guess what I'm unsure of is the steps required to ccd these two together. I've included the "pseudo-device ccd 4" in my kernel and it shows up on boot-up. I've created a basic /etc/ccd.conf file. If I do a ccdconfig -C -v it says... ioctl (CCDIOCSET): /dev/ccd0c: Device not configured (I also notice this message on boot-up) I created ccd0 (/dev/MAKEDEV ccd0) and it created ccd0a -ccd0h. If I specifically do a MAKEDEV ccd0c it says bad unit for disk in ccd0c If I try to do a ccdconfig ccd0 32 0 /dev/wdc1 /dev/wdc2 it says ioctl (CCDIOCSET): /dev/ccd0c: Inappropriate file type or format. I'm totally lost. Can anyone help?? Thanks a lot!!!! Randy
