I'm using mount_null now for some months - and i never had a problem with this.

The manpage says the follwing about mount_null:
--
...
BUGS
     THIS FILESYSTEM TYPE IS NOT YET FULLY SUPPORTED (READ: IT DOESN'T WORK)
     AND USING IT MAY, IN FACT, DESTROY DATA ON YOUR SYSTEM.  USE AT YOUR OWN
     RISK.  BEWARE OF DOG.  SLIPPERY WHEN WET.

     This code also needs an owner in order to be less dangerous - serious
     hackers can apply by sending mail to <hackers at FreeBSD.org> and announcing
     their intent to take it over.

Is this still true ? The manpage was written on May 1, 1995....thats eight years
ago. I will be glad if, that will be removed in future releases.

Best regards
