The objection that impressed me the last time this was suggested is that it's totally counter-intuitive to have a binary called mount_mfs that doesn't mount an MFS filesystem. Rather, it does all sorts of icky extra stuff to achieve a rather specific goal. I still don't see why an rc.conf knob specifically for /tmp isn't sufficient. That's what people want this for. Others can read the excellent documentation supplied in mdconfig(8), which is appropriately cross-referenced from md(4), which is the manual page for the device concerned. Logical, orthogonal and pretty damn easy, when you look at the EXAMPLES section. :-) Ciao, Sheldon.
