There are about 20 similar negative options (one for each normal option). They shouldn't be documented explicitly. Instead, give the meta-rules. These are rather complicated and broken. For most options "foo", there is a "nofoo" option. For most options "nofoo", there is a "nonofoo" option, but it is spelled "foo". "nonoclusterr" produces a bogus error message saying that "noclusterr" is not supported, but it is "nonoclusterr" that is not supported. For N extra "no"'s the error message says that the option with N-1 extra "no"'s is not supported. The negative options (that don't start out as negative, like noatime) are only useful in conjunction with the new FreeBSD options -o current and -o fstab.
