    Dear colleagues,

    can anyone please point me why mdconfig method for tmpmfs
    is malloc-backed instead of swap-backed, and it is hardcoded into rc.subr?

    Are swap-backed file systems so inefficient? If no, why not move -M to
    /etc/defaultc/rc.conf so admin can override this behaviour?

    Sincerely,
    D.Marck [DM5020, MCK-RIPE, DM3-RIPN]
