I've attached the rc.d script and a sample config file we're using at  
work. We're only using md-based file systems for actual data; all  
jails share the same file system. (We're not renting out jails, but  
use them internally to separate various services on the main multi- 
user machine.)



/etc/rc.conf:
mdconfig_enable="YES"
mdconfig_conf="/etc/md.conf"
