just wondering...

how many ccd's it is possible to use? i've ran successfully 8, and am
tomorrow booting up server with 12... but what is the most? (if someone
is interested, some ccds mirror, some strip, some strip and mirror)

and while i'm asking... i havent been able to figure how to get more than
sd0a, sd0e, sd0f, sd0g, sd0h from one slice, ofcourse using few slices i can
get around this, but is there another way?

i generally rather run different filesystems from their own partition than
mounting few huge partitions... (coz i use quotas and dont wish some
filesystems being able to affect another ones when filled, call me paranoid)
