I create the disk file using dd just fine. I then use /sbin/mdconfig -a -t vnode -f disk_file_storagel -u 2506 and I do get a /dev device ls -al /dev/md250* crw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 250 May 31 00:27 /dev/md2500 crw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 253 May 31 00:27 /dev/md2501 crw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 0x00010000 May 31 00:27 /dev/md2502 crw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 0x00010003 May 31 00:27 /dev/md2503 crw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 0x0001006e May 31 00:27 /dev/md2506 For some reason the dev device flags are a lot different, but it does exist. I then go to label it using the example from the Handbook disklabel -r -w md2506 auto (bsdlabel) I then get bsdlabel: Geom not found I have no idea what it is talking about. This worked earlier today when I created a new jail and created a new file backed md device to house it. What is going on and what am I doing wrong?
