>Description:
The failok option isn't documented in mount(8). As noted in the sbin/mount/mount.c:
730 } else if (strcmp(p, "failok") == 0) {
731 /*
732 * "failok" is used to prevent certain file
733 * systems from being causing the system to
734 * drop into single user mode in the boot
735 * cycle, and is not a real mount option.
736 */
737 continue;
The attached patch documents the missing option.
