All these programs are just hardlinks to mount_std. mount_std is just a program which takes in -o options, and creates parameters to the nmount() system call. This functionality has been migrated into the mount program in CURRENT for quite a number of months now. For these filesystems, if you do, for example, mount -t devfs, the mount program no longer forks an external mount_devfs program to mount a devfs filesystem.....instead mount calls nmount() directly. So, these mount_* programs are no longer used, nor needed. I only plan to touch: mount_devfs, mount_procfs, mount_fdescfs, mount_linprocfs, mount_procfs, mount_std.....the other mount programs in the tree are still used/needed. I am not touching RELENG_6, only CURRENT. I will also put a note in UPDATING. -- Craig Rodrigues rodrigc@crodrigues.org
