Could you please point me at the thread which provides more information about these objections? I don't remember hearing anything and http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/cvs-all/2008-October/thread.html doesn't contain anything too. > What is the reason to have this man page at all ? The main reason is that mount_nullfs(8) doesn't inform about how to get a nullfs support in the kernel. That is not the right place where to document it. Also when I type on a system man nullfs, I would really like to get some information. As I noted, this is only an initial version of manual page and I would really like to see it someone to expand it a bit. We are also missing other *fs manual pages that might be worth to add. This has been actually raised on #bsddocs a while ago and that was the main reason I have added nullfs(5). However if the general consensus here is that nullfs(5) is useless I don't have problems to back-out my commits... -- Best regards, Daniel mailto:danger@FreeBSD.org
