It seems a little odd to add quite a bit of new code to perform a single task (i.e., it would never be used by other tasks performed by the program). Among other things, it would obviously need to read fstab, then do the equivilent of disklabel and newfs. At least this is what I think mount_mfs does. I'm assuming you're talking about adding a "mdconfig -z" (or something) to do the `mount -a` equivilent, but for md entries. Am I missing something? It sounds like adding something to /etc/rc or a new mount_md program/script would be much easier (and more resistant to other changes in the system). Whatever the consensus is, I'd be happy to implement it. I'd just rather find out exactly what's needed than do something and have someone tell me that it should've been implemented elsewhere.
