is it possible to use mount_mfs _without_ the "special" argument ? what i want is to mount_mfs my /tmp for a diskless FreeBSD xterminal for the /tmp.X* files - but to use mount_mfs it seems i need a disk special device (from the mount_mfs man-page): The special file is only used to read the disk label which provides a set of configuration parameters for the memory based file system. but i don't have any disk (diskless :-) thus the typical swap-partition entry won't help - is there any trick to get a ~16 block (8k) /tmp mounted mount_mfs using a diskless FreeBSD machine with / mounted ro with the diskless code ? thanks in adavance - t p.s.: this may lead to very simple FreeBSD xterminals _______________________________________________________||___________________ __|| Perfection is reached, not when there is no __|| thomas graichen longer anything to add, but when there __|| freie universitaet berlin is no longer anything to take away __|| fachbereich physik __|| - Antoine de Saint-Exupery - __|| graichen@mail.physik.fu-berlin.de ___________________________||__________________graichen@FreeBSD.org_________
