I've been looking at why I can't unmount a filesystem on a device under devfs seems that the superblock is stored under the mount point. it is saved using the sync function of the filesystem that held the device.. so if the filesystem that held the device, is devfs, it's asked to save the other filesystem private info (superblock) but it wouldn't know a superblock if one came up and kicked it in the shins! I hope I'm reading this wrong, because that would indicate that you can only mount a ffs filesystem from a device on a ffs filesystem.. (and expect it to work) julian (going to sleep)
