<p><b>Note:</b> Since FreeBSD&nbsp;5.1-RELEASE, the <span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">bsdlabel</span>(8)</span> utility replaces the old <span
class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class="REFENTRYTITLE">disklabel</span>(8)</span> program. With
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class="REFENTRYTITLE">bsdlabel</span>(8)</span> a number
of obsolete options and parameters have been retired; in the example above the option
<var class="OPTION">-r</var> should be removed. For more information, please refer to the

<p>The utility <span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">mdconfig</span>(8)</span> is very useful, however it asks many
command lines to create a file-backed file system. FreeBSD&nbsp;5.0 also comes with a
tool called <span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">mdmfs</span>(8)</span>, this program configures a <span
class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class="REFENTRYTITLE">md</span>(4)</span> disk using <span
class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class="REFENTRYTITLE">mdconfig</span>(8)</span>, puts a UFS
file system on it using <span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">newfs</span>(8)</span>, and mounts it using <span
class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class="REFENTRYTITLE">mount</span>(8)</span>. For example, if
you want to create and mount the same file system image as above, simply type the
following:</p>

<pre class="SCREEN">
<samp class="PROMPT">#</samp> <kbd class="USERINPUT">dd if=/dev/zero of=<var
class="REPLACEABLE">newimage</var> bs=1k count=<var class="REPLACEABLE">5</var>k</kbd>

/dev/md0        4846    2  4458     0%    /mnt
</pre>

<p>If you use the option <var class="OPTION">md</var> without unit number, <span
class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class="REFENTRYTITLE">mdmfs</span>(8)</span> will use <span
class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class="REFENTRYTITLE">md</span>(4)</span> auto-unit feature to
automatically select an unused device. For more details about <span
class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class="REFENTRYTITLE">mdmfs</span>(8)</span>, please refer to
the manual page.</p>

Memory-Based File System under FreeBSD&nbsp;4.X</a></h2>

<p>The <span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class="REFENTRYTITLE">md</span>(4)</span> driver
is a simple, efficient means to create memory file systems under FreeBSD&nbsp;4.X. <span
class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class="REFENTRYTITLE">malloc</span>(9)</span> is used to
allocate the memory.</p>

<p>Simply take a file system you have prepared with, for example, <span
class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class="REFENTRYTITLE">vnconfig</span>(8)</span>, and:</p>

class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class="REFENTRYTITLE">mdmfs</span>(8)</span>. The storage for

<p>Instead of using a <span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">malloc</span>(9)</span> backed file system, it is possible to use
swap, for that just replace <var class="OPTION">malloc</var> with <var
class="OPTION">swap</var> in the command line of <span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">mdconfig</span>(8)</span>. The <span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">mdmfs</span>(8)</span> utility by default (without <var
class="OPTION">-M</var>) creates a swap-based disk. For more details, please refer to
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class="REFENTRYTITLE">mdconfig</span>(8)</span> and
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class="REFENTRYTITLE">mdmfs</span>(8)</span> manual

<h2 class="SECT2"><a id="AEN18256" name="AEN18256">12.10.5. Detaching a Memory Disk from
the System</a></h2>

<p>When a memory-based or file-based file system is not used, you should release all
resources to the system. The first thing to do is to unmount the file system, then use
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class="REFENTRYTITLE">mdconfig</span>(8)</span> to
detach the disk from the system and release the resources.</p>

<p>For example to detach and free all resources used by <tt
class="FILENAME">/dev/md4</tt>:</p>

<pre class="SCREEN">
<samp class="PROMPT">#</samp> <kbd class="USERINPUT">mdconfig -d -u <var
class="REPLACEABLE">4</var></kbd>
</pre>

<p>It is possible to list information about configured <span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">md</span>(4)</span> devices in using the command <tt
class="COMMAND">mdconfig -l</tt>.</p>

<p>For FreeBSD&nbsp;4.X, <span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">vnconfig</span>(8)</span> is used to detach the device. For example
to detach and free all resources used by <tt class="FILENAME">/dev/vn4</tt>:</p>

<pre class="SCREEN">
<samp class="PROMPT">#</samp> <kbd class="USERINPUT">vnconfig -u vn<var
