I seem to be able to create as many malloc(9)-backed md devices as I fancy. However, I'm using the development head for FreeBSD. From what I can tell, the version of md(4) in 4.1-STABLE does not feature the almost-clone feature. You'd best ask Poul-Henning Kamp about this. If the manual page is wrong about almost-clone behaviour in 4.1-STABLE, let me know< since that would have been my cock-up. Ciao, Sheldon.
