Applied, thanks.

Jan, what about to create udf(5) man page? We already have fs-specific
man pages (e.g. ext4, tmpfs, nfs, btrfs, ...). It's usually maintained
within fs-specific tools (e.g. ext4 -> e2fsprogs) or together with
standard man-pages (CC: to Michael).

I'm fine with that. Pali is actually the maintainer of udf-tools so if he
is willing to take the manpage there, it's probably the best place.

Is udftools the best place for kernel udf mount options? Because
userspace udftools are not needed for kernel udf driver, nor for
mounting existing udf filesystem.

For me it looks like that kernel drivers should have its documentation
in kernel itself...

[way late to the party...]

Or, better, in a man page that describes the kernel interface :-).
Many other filesystems have by now Section 5 pages in the man-pages package that I maintain. A udf(5) page that describes the mount options that the kernel supports for UDF would be best, and I think best lives inside "man-pages" because it is kernel interface stuff.

Or, did such a page already land in udf-tools?

Cheers,

Michael

Anyway, I have not know yet that there is e.g. ext4 manpage which
describe mount options. I was always looking into mount.8 manpage for
filesystem mount parameters.

The only missing filesystem in mount.8 is nfs, but that is probably
because mount uses mount.nfs helper.
