I was just too lazy to scp it to freefall beforing sending that e-mail. It's there now (freefall:~dd/public_distfiles/mdmfs-20010529.tar.gz). > But, before you commit the > port please reconsider my offer to put this into the base directly, and I don't object, if that's what you're asking. I proposed this back in February, and again a couple of days ago, albeit indirectly. It's others who have a problem with it. Personally, I think some of their points are valid. However, someone has yet to come up with a better idea, so this is probably the least of all evils. If you want to try to convince the others and bear the possible bikesheds that might erupt, I'll gladly commit it to the base and see to it that it stays in working shape. (As an aside, if it does end up in the base it should *not* be called mount_*; we can make a link to mount_mfs to it, but that shouldn't be its primary name.) > have /etc/rc* call it as needed.

This program is probably a little more than that; it supports all the options the old mount_mfs did, including the useless ones, for backwards compatibility. Of course, that's not necessarily a bad thing :-).
