This new version works (or should work) with all ports that can talk to disks. It has been tested on the i386, hp300, and sparc. Notables: * Not restricted to config.old ports. * 8-component limit is gone. * Run-time dynamic configuration and unconfiguration with a simple utility. No more need to re-compile the kernel to add or remove components, or change the interleave factor. * Supports disklabels. * Lots of internal changes. See code for more information. :-) Make sure to read the ccdconfig(8) and ccd(4) manual pages for details on how to configure a ccd. If you're currently using a ccd (presumably on an hp300), note that the ccd line in your kernel configuration file has to change. For those interested, I'll be posting a performance analysis of a fairly large ccd (hopefully) within the next month. Thanx everybody who suggested changes and helped test this code. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jason R.
