>Description:
The following example in the mount_union manual page has the '-b'
option in -current, but not in 1.0. I belive the 1.0 manual page
is correct. (And nobody said yea or nay when I asked the question
on -current.)
> mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/cd0a /usr/src
> mount -t union -o -b /var/obj /usr/src
>
> mount the CD-ROM drive /dev/cd0a on /usr/src and then attaches /var/obj
> on top. For most purposes the effect of this is to make the source tree
> appear writable even though it is stored on a CD-ROM.
>How-To-Repeat:
man mount_union
>Fix:
Remove the '-b' in the example.
