Description Dima Pasechnik 2018-09-19 15:45:19 UTC 
In https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/makeworld.html#updating-src-obtaining-src-repopath

it is suggested to do

# mv /usr/src /usr/src.bak

However, on FreeBSD 12 /usr/src is normally a mount point, and so this command
fails.

I performed two separate installs on a new virtual disk and could not reproduce the separate mount point in the auto-disk partitioning.  In my case, I used both auto (UFS) and auto (ZFS) for the test and the 12-RELEASE DVD ISO.  It seems the separate mount point is somehow user created.
