Re: fstab

Hello David,

Your fstab configuration looks fine and should work as expected. One
possibility is that you're using a custom kernel that doesn't have PROCFS
support enabled.

Could you please verify whether PROCFS is included in your kernel
configuration? Additionally, try mounting the filesystem manually( mount -t
procfs proc /proc) and let me know the exact error message you receive.

If you can share the exact FreeBSD version and platform (e.g., architecture
or hardware model), I’ll be happy to try and reproduce the issue on my end.

If the module is supposed to be loaded dynamically then please check
kldstat output as well and see required modules are loaded.

Thanks & Regards,
