   may be used interchangeably, but the last two will eventually disappear.
 
 Bugs in the present implementation:
+
 - Coherent FS:
+
   - The "free list interleave" n:m is currently ignored.
   - Only file systems with no filesystem name and no pack name are recognized.
-  (See Coherent "man mkfs" for a description of these features.)

 - SystemV Release 2 FS:

   The superblock is only searched in the blocks 9, 15, 18, which
   corresponds to the beginning of track 1 on floppy disks. No support
   for this FS on hard disk yet.
