Hi everybody,
	I'm currently adding diskspace to my machine. Unluckily
	the 'ftp'-section will be too large to fit on the largest
	disk soon and since I don't want to keep having to move
	'.a', '.b' etc. around to accomodate changes in the structure
	I'll be using 'ccd'. (Assuming nobody tells me it's instable)

	Which is more reliable 'serial' or 'interleaved'. 
	If one chooses a 'serial' ccd0 is it possible to add
	another partition to increase the size of ccd0 without 
	loosing the information already on it ?

	How much faster will two identical disks be when
	using 'interleaved' in comparison to 'serial' with ccd ?
	These two identical disks are according to 'dmesg'
	different in that one is 'SCSI2' while the other is 'SCSI1'
	Will mixing the two on the same bus cause 
	(performance/other) problems ?

	Does one need to tweak any other kernel-parameters to
	avoid memory/buffer problems etc when using ccd ?

Cheerio
