>Description:
The mount(2) man page implicitly refers to a nonexisting mount_ufs man page
in this paragraph:
Data is a pointer to a structure that contains the type specific argu-
ments to mount. The format for these argument structures is described in
the manual page for each filesystem. By convention filesystem manual
pages are named by prefixing ``mount_'' to the name of the filesystem as
returned by lsvfs(1). Thus the NFS filesystem is described by the
mount_nfs(8) manual page.
Since lsvfs lists "ufs" as a file system name, mount_ufs should exist that
documents toe appropriate structure.
>How-To-Repeat:
# lsvfs
Filesystem Refs Flags
-------------------------------- ----- ---------------
ufs 2
procfs 1 synthetic
linprocfs 1 synthetic
ntfs 1
nfs 4 network
# man mount_ufs
No manual entry for mount_ufs
