Synopsis: [md] [patch] mdconfig(8) returning negative unit numbers

Responsible-Changed-From-To: gavin->freebsd-bugs
Responsible-Changed-By: gavin
Responsible-Changed-When: Fri Jan 16 12:17:23 UTC 2009
Responsible-Changed-Why: 
Back into the pool now there's a working patch.
FWIW, I don't think the alloc_unr(9) API is suitable for this
at the moment, as that provides no way to allocate specific unit
numbers (which md(4) needs) and there doesn't appear to be an easy
way to extend it to provide that.
