[...] Hmmm, now that I look at the changes to mound_md() again, I don't like the way it's headed. Would it make more sense to add a tmpmfs_flags="" variable that would surpass both the bytes-per-inode and the ones I tried adding? This introduces an incompatibility with the current state of mount_md(), but it's easily extensible to include other options of mdmfs without having to invent new funny ways of passing options to mdmfs through the rc.d scripts.
