Package: freebsd-utils Version: 9.0+ds1-9 Severity: normal The freebsd-utils package is missing mount_mfs, so FreeBSD memory-backed filesystems cannot be mounted from fstab. E.g., if I add the following line to /etc/fstab as I would in FreeBSD:
md /tmp mfs rw,-s32m 0 0 I get an error when I try to mount it: # mount /tmp mount: exec mount_mfs not found: No such file or directory mount: in path: /sbin:/usr/sbin As a workaround I can create it manually with mdconfig: # mdconfig -a -t swap -s 32m md1 # mkfs -t ufs /dev/md1 /dev/md1: 32.0MB (65536 sectors) block size 16384, fragment size 2048 using 4 cylinder groups of 8.02MB, 513 blks, 1088 inodes.
