mount(8): add xref to devfs(5)
devfs(5): change example to something more likely to be useful (it is not
necessary to mount a devfs on /dev manually, but for chroots/jails it is
often needed), mention since when devfs is preferred to device nodes on ufs

GNU groff doesn't care about the ordering, and doesn't even mention
CAVEATS and SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS as common sections and where to put
them.

We'll start noticing this with the next flag introduced as the lower
32bit are all used.
As this is old code we might need to do a full tree sweep one day, unless
changing our strategy to use a different `API' for getting/setting flags
along with the rest of the statfs data.
While here compare to 0 explicitly [1].

I was considering committing all these patches one by one, but as
discussed with brooks@, there is no need to do this. If we ever
need/want to merge these changes back, it is still possible to do this
per application.

MNT_IGNORE after next commit.

experimental client is used when the fstype is "newnfs" or the "nfsv4"
option is specified. It includes the addition of the option:
gssname - to specify a client side initiator host based principal name
which is specific to NFSv4.
It also includes a change to mount.c, so that it knows about
mount_newnfs, but not mount_nfs4.

an alternative program to be used for mounting a file system.
Ideally, all file systems
should be converted to pass string arguments to nmount(), so that
/sbin/mount can handle them. However, certain file systems such as FUSE have
not done this, and want to have their own userland mount programs.
For example, to mount an NTFS file system with the FUSE NTFS driver:
mount -t ntfs -o mountprog=/usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g /dev/acd0 /mnt
or via an fstab entry:
/dev/acd0 /mnt ntfs ro,noauto,mountprog=/usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g 0 0

"-t msdosfs". The conversion has been happening since 1.43, but
no equivalent conversion happens in "umount -t", which led to some
confusion with some users.

For filesystems which use vfs_mount_error() to log an error, this
char buffer will be populated with a string error message.
If nmount() fails, in addition to printing out strerror(errno),
print out the "errmsg" populated by vfs_mount_error().
in /etc/fstab.
This has been happening due to the priority inversion; options
specified on the command line should take precedence over options
from fstab over default "noro" option, but since both the default
"noro" and options specified on the command line (-w, -r, -o ...)
were put into the same "options" variable, "noro" took precedence
over fstab "ro" (this is easily visible with "mount -d").

not be mounted unless the -l flag was specified.
Add an rc script, mountlate, which basically runs 'mount -a -l'. It runs
after DAEMON but before LOGIN.
This is useful for things like loopback mounts, because mountcritremote
runs before mountd / nfsd (since /usr might be a remote file system), so
an attempt to mount a loopback network file system in mountcritremote will
fail.
Also add a progress message to mountcritlocal, for the sake of symmetry
with similar messages in mountcritremote and mountlate.

keeping a flag to check whether we actually wanted to mount the filesystem
readonly, setup the options list so that we start off by assuming rw is what's
desired and let later flags change that.
additional -r (read-only) flag or or -w (read-write) flag,
then assume we want, mount -u -w.
When doing a mount update, this will implicitly pass a "noro" mount
option down to the VFS layer.
vfs_mergeopts() in vfs_mount.c will then remove the "ro" mount option
if it exists in the mount options for a mounted file system.
This means that "mount -u" works the same as "mount -u -w"
and will convert a read-only mount to read-write.
- mount(8) now calls the nmount(2) system call directly, not mount(2)
- specifying a filesystem type with -t will not automatically
invoke an external /sbin/mount_XXXX program....this only happens for
certain file system types. For all other file system types, nmount(2)
is called directly.
