 Do you know whether it's being enable by default in the kernel or not?

Presumably not, inferring from:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/disks-virtual.html

To use mdconfig(8), you have to load md(4) module or to add the support
in your kernel configuration file

But I don't run 5.x so I don't know for sure.

pseudo-device vn

2004-04-07 Thread Mipam
Hi,

I couldnt find stuff whether the pseudo device vn is by default in the
generic kernel. I didnt find it in GENERIC, but maybe it's otherwise
involved? I guess i need this device to mount a tmpfs like this in /etc

/dev/amrd0s1b /var/amavis   mfs   rw,-s=65536   0   0

where s1b is the swap device.
Should i just put
pseudo-device   vn
in the kernel config file to make this work?
Bye,

Mipam.

You didn't say which version of FreeBSD you were using.
In versions  4.xxx and earlier I think this will work.
It is what I have done.   You should be able to find it 
in the LINT file.  

But, starting with 5.0 I think it may have been changed.

I am using 5.2.1-p4, i also didnt see this in LINT.
Any hints?

I haven't had a chance to do anything with 5.xx yet but I understand
that vn things are done differently.  Also, LINT is being kept
differently.   

So, you will need to have someone with 5.xxx experience respond.

Some 5.xxx experimentation is nearing the top of my list, but
is still behind a few things.
