Thanks Chuck!  Here's the rest.  A quick search of the mailing lists
gives me the impression that GPT will be in 4.0 (http://mail-
index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2006/10/15/0096.html)

I really would prefer not having to split my volume.  The 3ware bios
will let me split the array into 2 logical drives easily, but my
application would favor the bigger single logical drive.  If there's
no other way maybe I can get ccd to join the two logical drives...

Slightly off-topic, is backing up a huge raid array to another raid
array an acceptable backup strategy?
