A 'mount_md' := would give us instant integration into existing kernel mechanisms, := including startup (/etc/rc) mechanisms. : :Why wouldn't this new program be called mount_mfs? Or am I wrong :assuming md is to phase mfs out? : : -mi I suppose you could make a hardlink between mount_md and mount_mfs, sure. Whatever the case, 'mdconfig' is the wrong place to put it. (this whole thing is predicated on someone writing a mount_md wrapper for MD that mimics the options mount_mfs accepts, for compatibility). -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
