>Description:
The mount(2) man page implicitly refers to a nonexisting mount_ufs man page
in this paragraph:
     Data is a pointer to a structure that contains the type specific argu-
     ments to mount.  The format for these argument structures is described in
     the manual page for each filesystem.  By convention filesystem manual
     pages are named by prefixing ``mount_'' to the name of the filesystem as
     returned by lsvfs(1).  Thus the NFS filesystem is described by the
     mount_nfs(8) manual page.
Since lsvfs lists "ufs" as a file system name, mount_ufs should exist that
documents toe appropriate structure.
>How-To-Repeat:
# lsvfs
