Looking at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sbin/mdmfs/mdmfs.c.diff?r1=1.25&r2=1.26 , I see that we've finally gotten a -P option to mdmfs, enabling use of mdmfs with a persistent vnode-backed file[system]. The patch has only been implemented in current, though, as far as I understand. My question is simple; Is this going to be put in stable? I'm less skilled at coding, but it looks to me as if this new option wouldn't possibly break anything in use today. Is there any way/-where we can say pleease, and get this patch put in stable too? I'm sure I'm not the only one with a great need for it. I really hope it's possible :) Please send replies directly to my address since I'm not subscribed to this one of the lists. Thank you! // Leo
