Description Victor Balada Diaz 2008-11-10 22:20:01 UTC

tmpfs have mount options that should be documented in mount(8).

This options are uid, gid, size, owner, inodes, mode. You can find a detailed
description of what they do in:

http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?mount_tmpfs+8+NetBSD-current

Also i find weird that FFS man page is no section 7 and tmpfs man page
is on section 5. Shouldn't tmpfs be on 4 or 7?

Xin LI wrote the tmpfs man page.  Can you take a look at this PR about 
the appropriate section and mount options?

I am also interested in seeing one with updates.

By the way, most of fs related man seems to be under man5.

% ls man*/*fs.?
man5/devfs.5            man5/mqueuefs.5         man5/xfs.5
man5/ext2fs.5           man5/msdosfs.5          man7/ffs.7
man5/fdescfs.5          man5/nullfs.5           man9/pseudofs.9
man5/fs.5               man5/procfs.5           man9/vfs_getvfs.9
man5/linprocfs.5        man5/reiserfs.5
man5/linsysfs.5         man5/tmpfs.5
% pwd
/usr/src/share/man
