[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.
