mdmfs: newfs exited with error code 36

mdmfs don't work on CURRENT diskless sparc64:

Loading configuration files.
Entropy harvesting: interrupts ethernet point_to_point.
Starting file system checks:
nfs: can't update /var/db/mounttab for 1.1.1.1:/sparc64/netboot

dropping into shell, ^D to continue anyway.

P.S. On current 20030825 diskless operations works fine.

Thanks!

 mdmfs: newfs exited with error code 36

This error seems to be generic, I see it on i386 too. I usually
mount /tmp with the following entry from fstab:

md /tmp mfs rw,-s250m 2 0

This gives the newfs error mentioned above. Doing the steps by hand
I get:

# mdconfig -a -t swap -s 256m
md4
# newfs /dev/md4
/dev/md4: 256.0MB (524288 sectors) block size 16384, fragment size 4096
using 4 cylinder groups of 64.02MB, 4097 blks, 4160 inodes.

2003-09-14 Thread masta
I can confirm this on i386, and sparc also.
This is a semi-anoying hickup for those who wish to make tiny root-msf
images for a soekris boards, or nfs diskless, and/or mfs-root floppies,
etc.
I belive PHK is/was looking for the root cause of this, which was a thread
that had something to do with bsdlabel's, or not.

Anyways, here was that thread:
