Folks,

I have been using an mdconfig /tmp for quite a while. Today, running
-current from 11/14 I got the following errors while doing an
installworld after testing my bind 8.3.3-patched import stuff:

kernel: swap_pager_strategy: bp 0xc2f34480 blk 0 size 0, not page
bounded
(plus lots more)

During the installworld whatever binary was being read from the
/tmp/install.foo directory would segfault, and I'd get one or more of
those in my log.

Here is my little script for creating the mem disk. It hasn't changed in
a long time.

# Usually a noop, but just in case
mdconfig -d -u 10 2>/dev/null

mdconfig -a -t swap -s 8M -u 10

disklabel -r -w md10 auto >/dev/null
newfs -U /dev/md10c >/dev/null
mount /dev/md10c /tmp
/bin/chmod 1777 /tmp


I'll be upgrading to a more recent -current asap, but I thought I'd
throw this out there what with the release imminent and all.

Doug
