Description Chip Senkbeil 2013-07-05 21:30:00 UTC
The page in question: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/solid-state/kernel.html

The entry "options MFS" causes an error when attempting to build the kernel. The build error occurs after attempting "sudo make buildkernel KERNCONF=SENKBEIL" with SENKBEIL being a copy of the GENERIC kernel with the option "options MFS" appended.

The error reported is 'unknown option "MFS"'.

Fix: 

Make a note on the documentation that this option is not valid for 9.1-RELEASE? Not sure when it became deprecated/removed.
How-To-Repeat: Add "options MFS" to the kernel configuration and attempt to build the kernel.

    solid-state: remove `options MFS` from example

    The MFS option was removed decades ago, in commit 49b07961a925.

    This solid-state article is woefully out of date and needs to be largely
    rewritten, or just removed.  This is just one small change from a PR.
