>Description:
/etc/rc.d/mdconfig requires that images be on the root file system.
This script would be good for having images of jails mounted at boot,
but I don't want to keep them on root file system, nor do I have room.
Most users don't have room either, given the default root fs size(s).
It might also be useful for having an ISO image mounted at boot.  Is
there a reason for the requirement that the image be on the root file system?

Also, even if the file is on /, and you apply the patch in PR conf/118035,
you still get this error:

# /etc/rc.d/mdconfig start
Creating md0 device (vnode).
fsck: Could not determin filesystem type
Fsck failed on /dev/md0, not mounting the filesystem.
>How-To-Repeat:
  dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/jail.img bs=1 count=1 seek=2147483648
  echo 'mdconfig_md0="-f /tmp/jail.img"' >> /etc/rc.conf
  /etc/rc.d/mdconfig start

(This also returns no error, which may also be considered a bug).

  
>Fix:
Remove the check for root filesystem, add filesytem type of fsck command
for UFS images, remove fsck all together for ISO images.

 Please close this bug. It doesn't seem to still be an issue.
 
 Thanks,
