:Some thoughts:
:
: - If you want softupdates, you need to specify the -S flag. Should
: softupdates be the default?
That's a hard one. Considering that people who have mfs in their fstab
probably expect as little disk I/O as possible, softupdate sshould
probably be enabled by default.
: - To suppress the output of disklabel/newfs/etc., it closes fds 0-2. Is
: this evil? Should I devise another method of doing this (something
: like opening /dev/null and dup2'ing that fd to 0-2)?
Yes, that is evil. opening and dup2()ing /dev/null to 0, 1, and 2
is the prefered method.
: - Should there be an option to make use of md's autounit feature? I
: don't think it will be very hard to implement, but I don't know how
: useful it would be.
Yes, I think this should be the default.
My -current box is down at the moment so I can't test it immediately, but
I looked at your code and it looks great! I think this will make using
MD disks in -current as easy s using MFS disks was.

:I think that's it. Comments? Suggestions?
