>Description:
The mount.2 manpage is incomplete. While it mentions all possible
error codes that can arise when mounting nfs, nfs and mfs, it
doesn't tell about msdosfs (and many other filesystem types).
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to mount a msdos filesystem and get:
miyu# mount_msdos /dev/wd2e /mnt
mount_msdos: /dev/wd2e on /mnt: Device busy
Make sure that /mnt exists and /dev/wd2e is not mounted elsewhere,
and start wonderting what's going on.
>Fix:
Read through lots of kernel code and find out.
I'm just calling it a day for now. :(
