So why not change the release process to use md instead of vn, so that
we can make sure it works before vn is axed?
 
 I will do, as soon as I have time...

If you work up a patch, I can test it in about 4-6 hours time..

How close is the md rewrite to being able to replace mfs?

Well, it can, but it is still not obviously better than mfs.

see mdconfig(8)

A real vmfs or tmpfs is more complicated.

VN bug or pilot error ?

2001-01-21 Thread Thierry Herbelot

Hello,

I've got a recent current (cvsuped and rebuilt yesterday) on a laptop
and I can't use the vn(4) pseudo-driver : I've compiled it in the kernel
and I've also tried to kldload vn.ko, but I get consistently "vn0c :
device not configured" when I try to use it to mount a locally stored
iso image.

I've switched to Stable and I can mount the exact same image.

TfH

PS : it seems it's possible to vn-mount a file located on an NFS server,
when the man page says it is not possible (which is right ?)

If I may, two more questions :

- the 4.2 man page for vn says the file must be stored locally (I have
tried vn-mounting a NFS file and it worked : certainly the man page
could be corrected - or I was lucky ?)

- under 4.2-Release, I have trouble using a larger than 20 Megs MD
partition (I have increased MDNsect to 8, but I still can't store
more the 20 Megs : a "cp" with a 35 Megs file stays blocked, and always
at the same place - I will give more details)

Sorry, my misundertstanding, seing that you emailed to current@ I pressumed
we were talking about -current here.

The new md(4)/mdconfig(8) is only in -current and will not make it
into -stable any time soon if at all.
