problems with handbook instructions for creating a CCD on 6-RELEASE

[Mike Hunter]

Hi,

I ran into some trouble following the handbook to create a CCD on a server
I built recently.

I have 4 identical disks that I wanted to use in a CCD.  Problem 1 was
after labeling each disk per the instructions, I end up with an a and a
c partition.  When I follow the instructions to create an all-encompassing
e partition, the partition editor complains that I am creating an
over-lapping partition.  Removing the a partition fixes the problem

Then, after I run ccdconfig, "disklabel -e ccd0" does not work, I have to
run "disklabel -w ccd0 auto" and get things going from there.

Finally, I'm a bit confused about soft-updates:

# mount
/dev/da0s1a on / (ufs, local)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
/dev/da0s1e on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/da0s1f on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/da0s1d on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ccd0c on /data3 (ufs, local)
/dev/da1s1e on /data4 (ufs, local)

Ok, so softupdates sounds cool, but it's off on ccd0....why?  It's treated the same
in /etc/fstab:

# cat /etc/fstab 
# Device                Mountpoint      FStype  Options         Dump # Pass#
/dev/da0s1b             none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/da0s1a             /               ufs     rw              1       1
/dev/da0s1e             /tmp            ufs     rw              2       2
/dev/da0s1f             /usr            ufs     rw              2       2
/dev/da0s1d             /var            ufs     rw              2       2
/dev/ccd0c              /data3          ufs     rw              2       3
/dev/da1s1e             /data4          ufs     rw              2       4
/dev/cd0                /cdrom          cd9660  ro,noauto       0       0

Pleaes cc me as I'm not on -questions.

Thanks!

Mike
