.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility is used to dynamically configure and unconfigure concatenated disk
|
|
devices, or ccds. For more information about the ccd, see
|
|
.Xr ccd 4 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl c
|
|
Configure a ccd. This is the default behavior of
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
.It Fl C
|
|
Configure all ccd devices listed in the ccd configuration file.
|
|
.It Fl f Ar config_file
|
|
When configuring or unconfiguring all devices, read the file
|
|
.Pa config_file
|
|
instead of the default
|
|
.Pa /etc/ccd.conf .
|
|
.It Fl g
|
|
Dump the current ccd configuration in a format suitable for use as the
|
|
ccd configuration file. If no arguments are specified, every configured
|
|
ccd is dumped. Otherwise, the configuration of each listed ccd is dumped.
|
|
.It Fl u
|
|
Unconfigure a ccd.
|
|
.It Fl U
|
|
Unconfigure all ccd devices listed the ccd configuration file.
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
Cause
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to be verbose.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A ccd is described on the command line and in the ccd configuration
|
|
file by the name of the ccd, the interleave factor, the ccd configuration
|
|
flags, and a list of one or more devices. The flags may be represented
|
|
as a decimal number, a hexadecimal number, a comma-separated list
|
|
of strings, or the word
|
|
.Dq none .
|
|
The flags are as follows:
|
|
.Bd -unfilled -offset indent
|
|
CCDF_UNIFORM 0x02 Use uniform interleave
|
|
CCDF_MIRROR 0x04 Support mirroring
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The format in the
|
|
configuration file appears exactly as if it were entered on the command line.
|
|
Note that on the command line and in the configuration file, the
|
|
.Pa flags
|
|
argument is optional.

|
|
# ccd ileave flags component devices
|
|
ccd0 16 none /dev/da2s1 /dev/da3s1
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The component devices need to name partitions of type
|
|
.Li FS_BSDFFS
|
|
(or
|
|
.Dq 4.2BSD
|
|
as shown by
|
|
.Xr disklabel 8 ) .
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
A number of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
examples are shown below. The arguments passed
|
|
to
|
|
.Nm
|
|
are exactly the same as you might place in the
|
|
.Pa /etc/ccd.conf
|
|
configuration file. The first example creates a 4-disk stripe out of
|
|
four scsi disk partitions. The stripe uses a 64 sector interleave.
|
|
The second example is an example of a complex stripe/mirror combination.
|
|
It reads as a two disk stripe of da4 and da5 which is mirrored
|
|
to a two disk stripe of da6 and da7. The last example is a simple
|
|
mirror. The 2nd slice of /dev/da8 is mirrored with the 3rd slice of /dev/da9
|
|
and assigned to ccd0.

|
|
When you create a new ccd disk you generally want to
|
|
.Xr fdisk 8
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr disklabel 8
|
|
it before doing anything else. Once you create the initial label you can
|
|
edit it, adding additional partitions. The label itself takes up the first
|
|
16 sectors of the ccd disk. If all you are doing is creating file systems
|
|
with newfs, you do not have to worry about this as newfs will skip the
|
|
label area. However, if you intend to
|
|
.Xr dd 1
|
|
to or from a ccd partition it is usually a good idea to construct the
|
|
partition such that it does not overlap the label area. For example, if
|
|
you have A ccd disk with 10000 sectors you might create a 'd' partition
|
|
with offset 16 and size 9984.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bd -unfilled -offset
|
|
# disklabel ccd0 > /tmp/disklabel.ccd0
|
|
# disklabel -Rr ccd0 /tmp/disklabel.ccd0
|
|
# disklabel -e ccd0
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The disklabeling of a ccd disk is usually a one-time affair.
|
|
If you reboot the machine and reconfigure the ccd disk,
|
|
the disklabel you
|
|
had created before will still be there and not require reinitialization.
|
|
Beware that changing any ccd parameters: interleave, flags, or the
|
|
device list making up the ccd disk, will usually destroy any prior
|
|
data on that ccd disk. If this occurs it is usually a good idea to
|
|
reinitialize the label before [re]constructing your ccd disk.
|
|
.Sh RECOVERY
|
|
An error on a ccd disk is usually unrecoverable unless you are using the
|
|
mirroring option. But mirroring has its own perils: It assumes that
|
|
both copies of the data at any given sector are the same. This holds true
|
|
until a write error occurs or until you replace either side of the mirror.
|
|
This is a poor-man's mirroring implementation. It works well enough that if
|
|
you begin to get disk errors you should be able to backup the ccd disk,
|
|
replace the broken hardware, and then regenerate the ccd disk. If you need
|
|
more than this you should look into external hardware RAID SCSI boxes,
|
|
RAID controllers (see GENERIC),
|
|
or software RAID systems such as
|
|
RAIDframe
|
|
.Xr raid 4
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr vinum 8 .

.Sh BUGS
|
|
The initial disklabel returned by
|
|
.Xr ccd 4
|
|
specifies only 3 partitions.
|
|
One needs to change the number of paritions to 8 using
|
|
.Dq Nm disklabel Fl e
|
|
to get the usual
|
|
.Bx
|
|
expectations.
