> How about this: for /etc/fstab: > > /dev/md0 /tmp mfs rw 0 0 How about replacing /dev/md0 with /dev/null or something and using the fact that mdconfig can dynamically assign a unit number? Specifying a specific could still be an option, of course. Also, maybe s/mfs/md/ to avoid questions like, "Why does mfs show up as md?" > Have mount_mfs be a suitable script or program that will create /dev/md0 > as a swap-backed md(4) and then disklabel, newfs, and mount it. Writing a Perl/sh/whatever script to take the arguments passed to it by mount(8) and run mdconfig/disklabel/newfs/etc. with the corresponding arguments seems rather trivial. One of the problems is how to call mdconfig to deallocate the resources when it is unmounted. If this can be resolved and the idea seems reasonably acceptable, I'll gladly submit patches.
