Our adapter is the NCR 810 however! I'm currently experimenting with the ccd driver pulled from the online source with the May snapshot. Had to hack about a little to get the driver built into the kernel and ccdconfig built but everything seems to be working OK. I imagine that this is the code that is in the June snap! Have you diff'd the two versions to see that has been done to the driver, or are they radically different? Btw, any perls of wisdom on interleave factors, newfs -b -f -i ... parameters et al to use to make a good (if anything can be good in the context of news!?) filesystem for news would be appreciated. There appear to be tradeoffs between fsck times and the time it takes to create and delete files. Also the sheer number of files that news creates and their spread in size from miniscule to megabyte-size is giving me headaches trying to find an appropriate set of parameters to use for the stripe set.
