Ah yes. Reading src/sbin/mdconfig/mdconfig.c with your "mdconfig
-a -f mfsroot" it seems the manual correctly represents the code
... except I'm lost what the purpose of cmdline is ?
( BTW I was wrong re:
> I suspect -t default is malloc, though manual doesnt say that
'f' actually follows with: mdio.md_type = MD_VNODE; )
Could author p...@freebsd.org cc'd (or someone else if they are clear)
please explain what cmdline is ?
Possibly commit an appended // comment after "int cmdline = 0;"
(in line 76 of 8.1 & current src/sbin/mdconfig/mdconfig.c) wgat it's for ?
(cmdline seems in most places to maybe be an enum { 1
2 3 } for { a d l } alternate forms of command mdconfig,
... & yet case 'd': sets cmdline = 3 not 2 ?
(& 't' & 'f' sets cmdline=2 ; not 1. Puzzling.
Cheers,
Julian
