function for resolving paths.
Make pathadj() no longer warn about symlinks. Symlinks in /dev are
regularly used in several places like LVM . The warning was also
only visible when calling a mount_* command directly as mount(8)
itself would resolve the path witout warning before passing it to
a mount_* command.
previously attempting to use mount -t ext2 like myself would result in
the warning "mount: mount_ext2 not found for /mnt", which (if you're me)
can be misunderstood as "/mnt is not an ext2 filesystem"...
change it to "mount: mount_ext2 not found"
figure out how to enable mounts for unprivileged users. (Why don't we
just explain vfs.generic.usermount in the mount(8) man page?)
Also add another example of different ways in which the "special"
argument is interpreted by different file systems: mount_tmpfs(8)
ignores it.
was deleted from the filesystem to the disk driver, commonly
known as "discard" or "trim".
fs/driver support is in ffs and ata wd for now.

Remove kernel option for EA backing store autocreation and do it by
default. Add a sysctl so that autocreated attriutr size can be modified.
the following work:
mount -t tmpfs -o union tmpfs /
(some caveats are implied, such as if you "mkdir /usr" you're
screwed, but then again you'll get there with "rm -rf /usr" even
without union -- we supply rope)

* Say that the "nfs" inference is deprecated. (It was deprecated in
revision 1.87 of mount.c, dated 2009-01-11.)
* Add "-t nfs" in an example, so as not to rely on the automatic
inference of nfs when the path contains a colon.
* Try to improve the description of how the arguments are interpreted.
