Wollman" To: kieber@sax.sax.de Cc: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Subject: docs/735: missing description for mount options in fstab(5) man page Date: Sun, 24 Sep 1995 15:28:44 -0400 < Except of ``userquota'' and ``groupquota'' all descriptions for mount > options (e. g. ``intr'', ``soft'', ``bg'', etc.) are completely > missing from the man pages. The possible options should be listed > stating which fs types they are valid for. This is intentional. 1) The old-style options are deprecated, and weren't even supported by 4.4-Lite. 2) The options are documented in the mount_foo(8) pages. It is a bad idea to document them in fifteen different places. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
