In that case, the mount_nfs(8) manual page would appear to require some work. My concern is that we should not adjust the manual pages every time someone reads them too fast and becomes confused. I'm well qualified to have an opinion on the subject because I've made this mistake many times myself. :-) I don't think that it's appropriate to mention mount options for every VFS in the fstab(5) manual page, especially when those options are well described in the manuals pertaining to those VFS. Rather, only options common to all VFS should be included in the fstab(5) manual page. If you agree with me so far, then you may want to take a stab at fixing the mount_nfs(8) manual page. I've taken a two minute look, and no elegant solution sprang to mind. :-) Ciao, Sheldon. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
