 Good news:
 
 It looks like mdconfig now works correctly on msdos partitions.
 I built a 1G file on a 32-bit fat partition, and mounted it as ffs
 with mdconfig, and it has been working nicely for a while, with a lot
 of activity.
 
 I'm however a bit surprised by the slow writes, considering I'm using
 soft updates on the partition. Something in the intereaction with
 msdosfs?
