Do you actually have the file, 'filesys'? The argument to -f is meant to be the name of a file used as a backing store. Something like thse might help you: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/mdstore bs=1m count=50 (50M zero'd file created) # mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /tmp/mdstore (used file for backing...) # ls /dev/md* /dev/mdctl /dev/md0 ...
