MFS is gone now except from the newfs(8) manpage. If anybody better at mdoc than me would take on the surgical task of censoring that page I would be most happy. The command name "mount_mfs" is now available for use for other purposes like a md(4) based facility, I'm not happy about "stealing" a name from the mount_*(8) api for doing something which isn't really that. The opposite argument could be made successfully though, that by stealing the name we allow people to write something sensible in their /etc/fstab and then later when we get a _real_ memory filesystem, they will not have to fiddle it again. As usual I revert to the safety of "whoever writes the code make decisions as well..." -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
