Section 5 is supposed to be about file formats, but manual pages for devfs, ext2fs, fdescfs, linprocfs, linsysfs, procfs, msdosfs, mqueuefs and reiserfs are present in it. Most of these manual pages appear to fit elsewhere since they do not talk about file format, perhaps section 4 (drivers & kernel modules). ffs is documented in section 7 (miscellaneous). pseudofs resides in section 9. This should also be in section 4, like miibus(4). -- FreeBSD Developer, http://people.freebsd.org/~jkoshy
