I may have over-stated the degree of brokenness: however, I did run into a number of basic problems, including the failure to set a proper mode on /tmp, that the creation of some md filesystems occurred after mtree was executed resulting in entries in /var/tmp (such as vi.recover) being covered by the new mountpoint, etc. Also, the documentation (comments et al) lagged behind the revised configuration and layout mechanisms. > > A quick fix would be to increase the size of the md device by default. > > All that should need to be done is to go back to the pre 16k/2k values, > i.e., add the options "-b 8192 -f 1024" to the mount_mfs command line > (in -STABLE at least). > > Unfortuneatly, I don't have a diskless setup at the moment that I can > test these changes on. I'm wondering if I had a local configuration error such that my /etc was being over-populated. Unfortunately, I reduced the size of the contents at the same time as increasing the md size in my rc.diskless1 changes, so I'll have to do a bit more testing to make sure this applies to an un-modified system, before committing. It looks lie the mount_md() script in rc.diskless2 already has to deal with this problem, whereas the mount_mdf() script in rc.diskless1 is lagged behind it. Synchronizing the two and handing in a bytes/inode value should deal with it if not.
