Description Lars Engels freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2007-08-16 13:10:02 UTC
On http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-trouble.html
could you please change mount_msdosfs to mount -t msdosfs?
The former should no longe be executed manually.

Fix: 

s/mount_msdosfs/mount -t msdos/
How-To-Repeat: Browse to http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-trouble.html ;-)

May I ask you why do you suspect that mount_msdosfs should
not be user any more?

In the future, all of the different mount_* utitilies should
go bye bye.

Hi Daniel,

please compare the number of mount_* binaries in a 6.x and a CURRENT
System. 

<FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT> [maggie:/sbin]
lars@ttyp6 > ls mount_* | wc -l
       9

<FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE> [NB011798:/sbin]
lars@ttyp2 > ls mount_* | wc -l
      18


In src/sbin/mount/mount.c you find the following:

/* XXX: We need to get away from implementing external mount
 *      programs for every filesystem, and move towards having
 *      each filesystem properly implement the nmount() system call.
 */


And there are several mails on mailinglists on that topic. E.g.:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2007-May/072783.html


So advocating mount -t in the handbook is more future-proof. :-)


Best regards,

Lars

Hello,

thanks for your note! I just wrote to re@ for approval. Afaik, this 
change only applies to HEAD or should I MFC it to RELENG_6?
Btw, you forgot to bump .Dd.

Thanks,

Hi,

In addition to changing the Handbook, I also recommend
patching the msdosfs(5) man page.
