At the bottom of 'man mount_null' there is a disclaimer like this:
----
BUGS
THIS FILESYSTEM TYPE IS NOT YET FULLY SUPPORTED (READ: IT DOESN'T WORK)
AND USING IT MAY, IN FACT, DESTROY DATA ON YOUR SYSTEM. USE AT YOUR OWN
RISK. BEWARE OF DOG. SLIPPERY WHEN WET.
This code also needs an owner in order to be less dangerous - serious
hackers can apply by sending mail to hackers@freebsd.org and announcing
their intent to take it over.
----
Is this serious?
If I only use it for read-only purposes, is it still buggy?
I want to use it for getting things outside a jail available for
chroot'ed ftpusers, and they should only have read access, so if that
works, it would be nice. But if there really is a chance of dataloss,
I will of course not use it.
Anyone who can comment on this?
