On 4.x you can use md, but it's easier to use mfs. In the vfstab, you
simply put the swap device in place of "md", eg.

/dev/ad0s1b /tmpmfs -s=655360   0

See mount_mfs(8), aka. newfs(8).

Hi Dan,

thanks for the help. i will check the man then :-)

and i am stick with another prolbem. so far i've read that the md
driver can be used to mound a file in an filesystem. before i could
use mdconfig. buti don't have mdconfig on my branch (4.10), not even
a man entry.

Run "man fstab", and read the descriptions of the fifth and sixth
columns.

Any user programs, headers, libraries, etc (anything that's not the
kernel).

fstab - why different file systems nummers?

2004-08-27 Thread Marcel.lautenbach
hi folks,

well, i new to freebsd but i didn't find help in the newbelist. and
since i got this daily message from the list i think this is the right
place to go.

i am at the point to change my /etc/fstab file. well, there i can set
two numbers 1 for root file system; 2 for another ufs file system and
0 for everythin else. so, in my example here: why ist a ms-dos file
system set to 2 and not to 0? it isn't a ufs file system...*wondering*

also, why to distinguish between 1,2 and 0. there is a file system
declaration in the third column. so, i don't get it with the
differences and reasons for these three numbers. but i would like to
understand :-)

so, can someone help?

and, what does the term "userland" mean for freebsd?

o.k., i am kind of dump but i hope you can clear the fog in my brain
:-)

thanky
