It creates the device, but the mount fails. >How-To-Repeat: This is a very petty bug, but I thought I'd at least get it on the record. humvee32~;mdmfs -X -s 8m md5 test/ DEBUG: running: /sbin/mdconfig -d -u md5 mdmfs: mdconfig (detach) exited with error code 1 (ignored) DEBUG: running: /sbin/mdconfig -a -t swap -s 8m -u md5 DEBUG: running: /sbin/newfs -U /dev/md5 DEBUG: running: /sbin/mount /dev/md5(null) test/ mdmfs: mount exited with error code 1 mdmfs works fine without specifying the device number. humvee32~;mdmfs -X -s 8m md test/ DEBUG: running: /sbin/mdconfig -a -t swap -s 8m DEBUG: running: /sbin/newfs -U /dev/md0 DEBUG: running: /sbin/mount /dev/md0 test/ >Fix: I would guess that mount is choking on the (null) on the end of /dev/md5. The easy fix is for me to rip this line out of the command page. I don't think that's what we really want done here. :-) >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
