From d02e870c7e5bacfd19b5debe5ac0c6c05209f461 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gary Palmer Date: Wed, 3 Apr 1996 23:11:08 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Add a small message to the ``CAVEATS'' section saying if you get the warning about the root directory, then you could corrupt your filesystem if you write to it. Someone, please, feel free to improve this :-) --- sbin/i386/mount_msdos/mount_msdos.8 | 10 +++++++++- sbin/mount_msdos/mount_msdos.8 | 10 +++++++++- sbin/mount_msdosfs/mount_msdosfs.8 | 10 +++++++++- 3 files changed, 27 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/sbin/i386/mount_msdos/mount_msdos.8 b/sbin/i386/mount_msdos/mount_msdos.8 index 63293d8c792e..d6bd154a9401 100644 --- a/sbin/i386/mount_msdos/mount_msdos.8 +++ b/sbin/i386/mount_msdos/mount_msdos.8 @@ -27,7 +27,7 @@ .\" (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OF .\" THIS SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. .\" -.\" $Id: mount_msdos.8,v 1.1 1994/09/19 15:30:34 dfr Exp $ +.\" $Id: mount_msdos.8,v 1.2 1994/11/19 17:55:35 nate Exp $ .\" .Dd April 7, 1994 .Dt MOUNT_MSDOS 8 @@ -100,6 +100,14 @@ of MS-DOS later than version 3.3.
