I can't see any problem there, if the mdmfs program is compatible with mount_mfs. I mean, the manpage even explicitly says, "the mdmfs utility is designed to be a work-alike and look-alike of the deprecated mount_mfs(8)." Why then the different name, especially with the result that it can no longer be used with fstab? I mean, the old mount_mfs doesn't seem to exist anymore so there would be no naming conflict. -- Matthias Buelow To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
