Alex Hornung <[email protected]> added the comment: I suggest we actually move away from mfs and use tmpfs instead. This would involve (at least) the following steps: - Change the fstab for the nrelease magic to use tmpfs, but keeping the same options in use (i.e. size [note that mfs' size is in sectors, iirc]) - Probably expand mount_tmpfs to use FSCopy & FSPaste with an optional parameter '-C', as with mount_mfs, as long as we don't have a working unionfs. FSCopy and FSPaste can be found in newfs/fscopy.c. An alternative to this would be finally fixing unionfs, but that's a more complicated issue. - Test a few installations to see if everything still works as expected with the new tmpfs magic. This would ideally include both x86 and x86_64.
