I have a fix now that I like better: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=120784 You can apply it in the following way: # cd /usr/src # fetch -o mount.patch \ 'http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?prp=120784-1-diff&n=/patch-1.diff' # patch < mount.patch # cd sbin/mount # make all install clean
