Currently, the -m option to dumpfs is described in dumpfs.8 like this: If -m is specified, the file system is marshalled in terms of a newfs(8) command to generate the file system. This is incomprehensible. OpenBSD has recently ported the functionality from FreeBSD and modified the man page description: If -m is specified, a newfs(8) command is output that can be used to gen- erate a new file system with equivalent settings. I suggest that our dumpfs.8 adopt the same phrasing. This loses the mnemonic value of -m, but clearness should be more important.
