mount(8) man page has wrong example for 'mount -t mfs'
In both OpenBSD 3.4-release (just installed from the CD) and -current
on the web as of just now, the mount(8) man page includes the example
> For example, the mount command:
>
> # mount -t mfs -o nosuid,-N,-s=4000 /dev/dk0b /tmp
>
> causes mount to execute the equivalent of:
>
> # /sbin/mount_mfs -o nosuid -N -s 4000 /dev/dk0b /tmp
Assuming the usual OpenBSD conventions, /dev/dk0b will be a swap
partition, in which case, as was just pointed out to me in message
<http://monkey.org/openbsd/archive/tech/0312/msg00184.html>, the syntax
is wrong (and doesn't work any more as of 3.4). According to that message,
the correct syntax has swap instead of /dev/dk0b .
Since this is an mfs example, would it also be appropriate to add
the async mount option?
ciao,
