:Some thoughts: : : - If you want softupdates, you need to specify the -S flag. Should : softupdates be the default? That's a hard one. Considering that people who have mfs in their fstab probably expect as little disk I/O as possible, softupdate sshould probably be enabled by default. : - To suppress the output of disklabel/newfs/etc., it closes fds 0-2. Is : this evil? Should I devise another method of doing this (something : like opening /dev/null and dup2'ing that fd to 0-2)? Yes, that is evil. opening and dup2()ing /dev/null to 0, 1, and 2 is the prefered method. : - Should there be an option to make use of md's autounit feature? I : don't think it will be very hard to implement, but I don't know how : useful it would be. Yes, I think this should be the default. My -current box is down at the moment so I can't test it immediately, but I looked at your code and it looks great! I think this will make using MD disks in -current as easy s using MFS disks was. -Matt :I think that's it. Comments?
