Hello all, I trust this is a Seldom Asked Question... I am using file-backed memory disks (as in mdconfig -f) to prototype filesystems. root.img gets mounted first and usr.img, var.img and tmp.img get mounted below it and as such they are behaving as partitions. Is there any way to get a single memory disk to behave like a slice and itself be partitioned? That would give essentially: /dev/md0a or even /dev/md0s1a This would allow the four partition images to be combined into a single partitioned image. Yes, I have a legitimate use for this. :) Appreciated, Michael.
