It also appears there's no canonical (i.e. rc.conf) knob > for configuring /tmp as a MD (there are however instructions in the > manpage which I hacked in manually on my system) Sheldon Hearn posted a patch to add such a knob around January when we were having this exact discussion. Personally, I think it only solves half a problem; what if you want /tmp and /tmp2? And why should it be limited to boot-up? Perhaps there's use for a program which emulates mount_mfs using md. I actually wrote a short program that emulates *all* of mount_mfs's umpteen options with md, disklabel, and newfs, but nobody seemed interested. My choice of name (mount_md) wasn't particuarly good, either. Look at the -hackers and cvs-all archives around late January and early February for the discussions. I still have that program, and it works great, so perhaps I should make it a port (comments?).
