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.

does. This is not POLA violation, because there is no single file system in the
base that use MNT_IGNORE currently, although ZFS snapshots will be mounted with
MNT_IGNORE after next commit.

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

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.

- 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.
MAC support on the file system, if supported, which causes MAC to treat
each object as having its own label, rather than using a single label
for all objects on the file system. This doesn't have to be used in
combination with the tunefs/newfs flags -- it's an alternative.
