Re: vn, vnconfig and MFS death-warrant!
Just a note. phk> March 1st I will remove the functionality from mount_mfs and phk> vnconfig, leaving only the message which will be an error obviously. Before March 1st, src/release/Makefile, src/release/scripts/doFS.sh, src/release/texts/FLOPPIES.TXT, and some PicoBSD stuffs need some work to convert from vnconfig(8) to mdconfig(8). Is Anybody working on this? -- - Makoto `MAR' MATSUSHITA To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

Just to make my intentions clear, I am not asking to remove vn/vnconfig(8)/mfs from -STABLE, I was just asking for the inclusion of md/mdconfig in -STABLE so that people (at least me :) ) can get ready for the day 5.0 will becomes -STABLE... My other problem is that I use vn's heavily and I find that some of their limitations are really annoying. While I could hack the relevent code to make myself happy, I think that there is little value in me doing that when it is obvious that they are going away in the not so distant future (5.0). Anyway, this is not a big deal. Patrick. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

I think we should postpone the complete removing for a year (on release of 5.2), to give people a migration sugar. System upgrading (4.x -> 5.x) will cause confusing situation, for example, living old 4.x vnconfig binary and new and splendid mdconfig. -- Motomichi Matsuzaki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Dept. of Biological Sciences, Grad.

Could these modifications be ported to -STABLE to ease up the transition from -STABLE to -CURRENT ? I don't know if this is tied deeply on other changes in -CURRENT, but if it is not I'd like to use the new facility. Let me know if you want me to do some testing prior to committing the changes to -STABLE. I will happily contribute any help I can. Patrick.
