RAIDFRAME and skipping a cylinder



In a lot of cases (scsi in particular) a cylinder is 64 sectors. I seem to
hazily recall some documenet that pretty much said "reserve 64 sectors
from the beginning of the disk for RAIDFRAME use." Several of my disks
work out to having a couple hundred sectors per cylinder. How much space
does the OpenBSD disklabel really require? And how much does RAIDFRAME
really require?
