phk	0ae4f0870d	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
phk	3e008ced76	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
phk	4728b0144a	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
