Hi,
It seems as though UFS is currently seen as an internally known file
system type, and therefore there is no mount_ufs command or man page.
I've modified the man page for mount(2) slightly, so that it now reads:
The data argument is a pointer to a structure that contains the
type spe- cific arguments to mount. The format for these argument
structures is described in the manual page for each file system.
By convention file system manual pages are named by prefixing
``mount_'' to the name of the file system as returned by lsvfs(1).
Thus the NFS file system is described by the mount_nfs(8) manual
page. It should however be noted that manual pages for internally
known file system types such as UFS, do not exist.
Would that be sufficient?
- Marc
