the mount(8) man page covers not only the mount command, but also the various file system options that come from the kernel. it seems like the communities have settled on the man-pages project for holding all the userland-facing documentation, it has good practices for tracking features across versions, and updating it is a lot easier/safer (than util-linux) and up-to-date on the web (via man7.org). while looking up some proc/ramfs options, i noticed util-linux was out of date by over 6 years :/. imo, it seems like we should move all kernel-specific documentation out of the util-linux project and into man-pages. obviously all the mount command line options and such should remain. specifically i'm looking at "FILESYSTEM-SPECIFIC MOUNT OPTIONS": http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/mount.8.html#FILESYSTEM-SPECIFIC_MOUNT_OPTIONS we probably want to leave "FILESYSTEM-INDEPENDENT MOUNT OPTIONS" in util-linux since those are all parsed by util-linux's mount and turned into the MS_xxx bits. thoughts ? mount(2) doesn't seem like the best place, but these are the fields that go in the "data" string to that syscall. -mike
