if you booted from one of these drives, you may have stepped on
the partition table and/or configuration.

have you tried "recover main" at the configuration prompt?

i'd recommend making the cache relatively small.  p10.10 might be
a good plan.

if you do use it, you can partition the drives with prep and/or
fdisk and use partition names.  percentage is pretty sloppy when
you get to an 80gb drive.  i found that absolute sector numbers
are error prone for humans to type and sharing an aoe target
makes sense.  here's my main configuration

	filsys main cpe2.0"kcache"e2.1
