I've got an odd error with mdconfig, a script which has been
running on 5.x for months suddenly started giving this error

mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /usr/ftp/pub/FreeBSD/5.2-20040211/floppies/kern.flp
-u 0
mdconfig: ioctl(/dev/mdctl): No such file or directory

But if I do:

root@Buildhost:/usr/local/etc/scripts# ls /dev/md*
/dev/mdctl

So /dev/mdctl is there.
Anyone got any bright ideas? It's running:

FreeBSD Buildhost.int.epcdirect.co.uk 5.2-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT #0:
Tue Feb 10 21:22:31 GMT 2004
