            Bug ID: 293423
           Summary: ffs(4): should mention UFS2 snapshots, add symlink,
                    etc.
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Manual Pages
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: bms@FreeBSD.org
                CC: doc@FreeBSD.org

Whilst the mount(8) man page does describe snapshots, there is no mention of
ufs2 snapshot specifics, and no mention of it in the now-obscurely-named ffs(4)
manual page. That is rather confusing, frankly. There's no "ufs" or "ufs2" man
page symlink for ffs(4) which would surely make this information slightly
easier to find in an "apropos" / "man -k" search.

Noticed when turning up TRIM for Hyper-V guests.
