>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 
Filesystem                        Refs Flags
-------------------------------- ----- ---------------
ufs                                  2 
procfs                               1 synthetic
linprocfs                            1 synthetic
ntfs                                 1 
nfs                                  4 network

# man mount_ufs
No manual entry for mount_ufs
