            Bug ID: 246604
           Summary: When the device is missing a filesystem, mount(8)
                    cites the device as non-existent
           Product: Base System
           Version: 12.1-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Keywords: dogfood
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: mi at FreeBSD.org

When invoked to mount an existing device, that has no filesystem on it, mount
claims the device itself does not exist:

% mount /dev/ada0f /mnt
mount: /dev/ada0f: No such file or directory

After running newfs on /dev/ada0f, the mount succeeds. The error-message should
be more helpful...
