File Systems

A number of file system related features have been added:

• The dosfs filesystem now supports long file names and 32-bit File Acces Tables (FATs).

• Most file system administrative commands, such as mount(1M) no longer require the -F option, which specifies the file system type; these commands are now capable of automatically detecting the type of the file system being mounted. One notable exception is mkfs(1M), which still requires the -F option.

• The marry(7) driver and marry(1M) administrative command have been added to provide the ability to create filesystems on regular files and mount the regular files as filesystems (via mkfs(1M)).
