BTW, whatever became of the effort to make a wrapper called mount_mfs? I understand the easy steps required to use mdconfig in its place, but there is the following issue -- those steps can only be placed into rc.local or some such, which, during boot, is executed after the first users of /tmp are already started -- using the /-partition for their temporary files... Having something, that can be referred to from /etc/fstab would be The Right Thing, IMHO. -mi P.S. Note, that rc.diskless2 has its own mount_md shell function...
