The md(4) manpage hints at a type 'md_image' load module, but doesn't say anything about how to create one and have it loaded at boot time. My searches through the mailing list archives and handbook didn't turn up anything. Could someone who has done this please let me know how it's done? Thanks, and I'll summarize if I receive any useful responses. --lyndon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
