The "mount -t mfs" case doesn't work with mdmfs, because mount(8) uses the filesystem name, not the mount_xxx program as argv[0]. I had guessed this would be a problem when I read the commit message for revision 1.7 of mdmfs.c, but then I forgot to mention it to Dima. Here is a patch that should help - it makes mdmfs accept "mount_mfs" or "mfs" to trigger compatibility mode instead of mount_*.
