>Organization:

>Environment:

FreeBSD-2.1.5-RELEASE on P6 128 MB, 3 swap partions, multiple adapetc
2940, using ccd.

>Description:

The mount_mfs command (or mount -t mfs), called with correct
parameters (work on FreeBSD-2.1-RELEASE) just returns, no mount is
done. 

>How-To-Repeat:

mount -t mfs /dev/sd0b /tmp

-> returns without error message, buit nothing is done.

>Fix:
	
`mount -u -o async / `  :-)

If the fix is easy (and serious :-), I'd appreciate a short notice.

 Note that `newfs' does a very bad job of returning errors in the MFS
 case.  So far as I can tell, the only place where errors in MFS
 creation are indicated is the syslog.  What's worse, it doesn't even
 appear to return a correct error indication back to the parent
 process.

 Right, in fact. Sorry, I didn't had console output.
 This message is printed when the mount commend is given:
 
 Jul 26 14:35:21 gilgamesch mfs: /tmp: Operation not supported by device
 
 /tmp is just a plain directory on a plain (non-ccd, nothing special)
 ffs partition. Trying other directories gives the same result. I tried
 with a freshly booted machine and in single-user mode.
 
 More important for me: Is there anyone with a working mfs on 2.1.5?

 This message is the one that indicates your kernel is not compiled
 with MFS support.

 Oh no...
 
 I compiled a kernel with MFS, but didn't copy it to / :-(
 
 MFS now works. I'm really sorry for the stupid bug report. Should be
 closed.
