 Hi,
 
 It seems as though UFS is currently seen as an internally known file
 system type, and therefore there is no mount_ufs command or man page.
 I've modified the man page for mount(2) slightly, so that it now reads:
 
       The data argument is a pointer to a structure that contains the
       type spe- cific arguments to mount.  The format for these argument
       structures is described in the manual page for each file system.
       By convention file system manual pages are named by prefixing
       ``mount_'' to the name of the file system as returned by lsvfs(1).
       Thus the NFS file system is described by the mount_nfs(8) manual
       page.  It should however be noted that manual pages for internally
       known file system types such as UFS, do not exist.
 
 Would that be sufficient?
