Hello
Wonder if there should be any consistency in 'mdconfig' parameter parsing when
run from the shell and when run through 'rc.conf'.
I hoped I could copy'n'paste the parameters from the command line to 'rc.conf',
reboot and enjoy. No.
Works fine from command line:
mdconfig -f /usr/local/zfs/backups -u 0
Fails in 'rc.conf', the file is surely there:
mdconfig_md0="-f /usr/local/zfs/backups"
kernel: Creating md0 device (-f).
kernel: mdconfig:
kernel: could not find full path for /usr/local/zfs/backups
kernel: :
kernel: No such file or directory
kernel: Creating md0 device failed, moving on.
Also fails:
mdconfig_md0="-f /usr/local/zfs/backups -t vnode"
kernel: Creating md0 device (vnode).
kernel: usage: mdconfig -a -t type [-n] [-o [no]option] ... [-f file]
kernel: [-s size] [-S sectorsize] [-u unit]
kernel: [-x sectors/track] [-y heads/cyl]
kernel: mdconfig -d -u unit [-o [no]force]
kernel: mdconfig -l [-v] [-n] [-u unit]
kernel: type = {malloc, preload, vnode, swap}
kernel: option = {cluster, compress, reserve}
kernel: size = %d (512 byte blocks), %db (B),
kernel: %dk (kB), %dm (MB), %dg (GB) or
kernel: %dt (TB)
kernel: Creating md0 device failed, moving on.
Works:
mdconfig_md0="-t vnode -f /usr/local/zfs/backups"
kernel: Creating md0 device (vnode).
kernel: fsck:
Would anyone bother make 'rc.conf' more relaxed about the parameters and their
order?
Cheers

man mdconfig
...
-f file
Filename to use for the vnode type memory disk. Options -a and -t
vnode are implied if not specified.
...
man rc.conf
...
mdconfig_md<X>
(str) Arguments to mdconfig(8) for md(4) device X. At mini-
mum a -t type must be specified and either a -s size for mal-
loc or swap backed md(4) devices or a -f file for vnode
backed md(4) devices. Note that mdconfig_md<X> variables are
evaluated until one variable is unset or null.
