ccd is simpler and much smaller. (it's not a fair comparison,
since raidframe does a lot more, but for a basic "I want copies
of the data files on two disks and will deal with recovering
and backing up / myself" ccd is just enough).
$ cd /sys/dev
$ wc -l ccd*
1403 ccd.c
191 ccdvar.h

$ wc -l raidframe/*|tail -1

-current has softraid(4) in GENERIC, btw. it's not feature-
complete yet, but what it does works well.
