I would like to request an small addition to the man page for
mdconfig. It has no examples of labeling a memory disk. There was such
an example in the vnconfig man page. This might replace the existing
example for creating an md device with /tmp/boot.flp as backing.
To create a disk named /dev/md0 with somebackingfile as backing and
label it with ffs partitions:
mdconfig -a -t vnode -f somebackingfile -u 0
disklabel -r -w md0 auto
disklabel -e md0
BTW, I have confirmed that this works with bsdlabel.
