= You may want to set -o reserve option. Or better, switch to a swap backed

Yes, I switched to swap-backed md already. But the malloc-based variety is
currently the _default_ (see /etc/defaults/rc.conf)...
Bad default.
Anyway, you may wish to change tmpmfs_flags on something like that:
"-S -m0 -o async,nosymfollow,nosuid"

Creation of a 2Gb malloc-based md should've failed on a machine with 768Mb of
RAM, shouldn't it have?
Only if you set '-o reserve'. Memory for malloc-based md was allocated
dynamically.
