I've read the man page, searched the mailing list archives, tried various combinations, but no go. I would like to create an MFS partiton that's large enough to hold a single index file that gets loaded every time a perl script is run. The index file is currently about 5MB and growing. The man page suggested: mount_mfs -s 131072 -o nosuid,nodev /dev/da0s1b /tmp for a 64MB partition mounted on /tmp. I didn't want one that large so I figured 131072/64MB=2048, thus 2048*16MB=32768. I also wanted the mount point to be /index so I created said directory and gave it the proper permissions, drwxrwxrwt 2 root wheel 512 Apr 11 23:13 index I then did: mount_mfs -s 32768 -o nosuid,nodev /dev/da0s1b /index And got this error: mount_mfs: /dev/da0s1b: No such file or directory Now said device does exist, brw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 0x00020002 Mar 20 03:19 da0s1 And MFS is compiled in my current kernel, options MFS #Memory Filesystem options MFS_ROOT #MFS usable as root device, "MFS" req'ed This box is running FreeBSD 3.1-RELEASE. So, what the heck am I missing (other than the obligatory sacrifices ;) ? Thanks rus To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
