* Enhance mdmfs(8) to work with tmpfs(5).Ian Lepore2017-09-291-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Existing scripts and associated config such as rc.initdiskless, rc.d/var, and others, use mdmfs to create memory filesystems. That program accepts a size argument which allows SI suffixes and treats an unsuffixed number as a count of 512 byte sectors. That makes it difficult to convert existing scripts to use tmpfs instead of mdmfs, because tmpfs treats unsuffixed numbers as a count of bytes. The script logic to deal with existing user config that might include suffixed and unsuffixed numbers is... unpleasant. Also, there is no g'tee that tmpfs will be available. It is sometimes configured out of small-resource embedded systems to save memory and flash storage space. These changes enhance mdmfs(8) so that it accepts two new values for the 'md-device' arg: 'tmpfs' and 'auto'. With tmpfs, the program always uses tmpfs(5) (and fails if it's not available). With 'auto' the program prefers tmpfs, but falls back to using md(4) if tmpfs isn't available. It also handles the -s <size> argument so that the mdconfig interpetation of unsuffixed numbers applies when tmpfs is used as well, so that existing user config keeps working after a switch to tmpfs. A new rc setting, mfs_type, is added to etc/defaults/rc.conf to let users force the use of tmpfs or md; the default value is "auto".

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Need to multiply the size of the disk passed to mount_md by 512 as mdmfs expects number of 512-byte blocks while tmpfs size option wants number of bytes.

* Add support for /conf/T/M/remount_optional.Bruce M Simpson2008-05-151-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The rc.initdiskless functionality is used by NanoBSD to allow configuration files to live on a separate configuration slice, which acts as NVRAM, whilst the system image is mounted read-only. Normally, if the remount command fails during boot, this is regarded as a fatal error. If /conf/T/M/remount_optional is present, this error is non-fatal. If the file is not present, the default behaviour is unchanged. This is very useful for people building live CD images using FreeBSD, where the NVRAM lives somewhere completely differently from the system image, and may be present on removable media which is not present during the initial boot.

* - put some common code in a function handle_remount();Luigi Rizzo2006-12-031-38/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - add better checks on non-existing directories to prevent error messages at run time; - introduce a function log() to help debugging diskless booting when things don't work; - modify the parsing of diskless_remount so you can add mount_nfs options after the pathname. You could use 'remount' to do something similar, but this way is more convenient because you don't have to hardwire the server name in the command. - document the above.

This allows us to prioritize the initidiskless script so it runs before the configuration files are loaded and allows us to get rid of the exit 2 hack in /etc/rc. The exit 2 never worked anyway since it did not unset the prior configuration, causing the diskless code to not operate properly. Do a major cleanup and revamping of the diskless code for RCNG.

In order for this to be effective, rc.conf has to be reread after initdiskless is finished. Implement this by adding a hook to etc/rc which rereads rc.conf by request. This can also be implemented by renaming initdiskless to initdiskless.sh and sourcing rc.conf there manually, but it was decided that, that would be uglier than a hook in etc/rc.
