Hi *,
I recently tried to move my newsspool into a seperate filesystem in a
flatfile and mounted it as a md device. Works perfectly with hands-on,
but there doesn't seem to exist a proper way to do this during startup
(/etc/fstab).
Actually I have this line in /etc/fstab, but everytime that filesystem
is mounted via fstab, it will be formatted using newfs:
md /var/spool/news mfs rw,-F/data/spool_news.ufs,-U 0 0
How do I disable the newfs from mount_mfs?
Is there any proper way in the bootscripts, to set up md-devices and
mount them automatically? It should even destroy /dev/md${n} on umount.
Any solutions? TIA.
Regards,
Raphael Becker
