Poul-Henning Kamp	e06b153abe	Add padding space and a version number to the md_ioctl structre for future ... extension. Add ability to create a preload disk giving an address and a length (suggested by imp) Fix bug relating to very small md(4) devices. Update md.c copyright to reflect the status of code copied from vn.c. (noticed by dillon)	2001-01-01 23:08:26 +00:00
Poul-Henning Kamp	8f8def9e2c	This is the first snapshot of the new all-singing-and-dancing md(4). ... Using the mdconfig(8) program you can now configure memory disks on malloc(9), swap or a file/vnode. preloaded md disks also work as usual.	2000-12-31 13:03:42 +00:00
Poul-Henning Kamp	c2ef0b73df	Improve cmdline parsing and messages. ... Add a rudimentary man-page. (I'm no mdoc wizard, feel free to attack my mistakes and blunders)	2000-12-31 11:20:49 +00:00
Poul-Henning Kamp	70d586c091	Preliminary scaffolding for the new integrated vn+md device driver. ... I decided to work on the md(4) driver and integrate the vn(4) functionality into it mainly based on the name being more suitable. Ideally 'vd' as in "virtual disk" would probably be the most logical but our sound-master pointed out that this would cause uncontrollable fits of giggles in the brits. Another complication would the needed changes to the ramdisk boot/root functionality. The vn driver will stay around for some time after I complete this merge for transition reasons, and I'll make it whine to people that they should migrate to the md(4) driver for some time before it dies. The kernel part of the new md(4) driver will be committed after more testing.	2000-12-28 20:57:57 +00:00
