- Why does it get a "no more processes" error? Or why does it try to fork
- "/usr/etc/mount_hsfs"? The answer to the latter is "because they didn't
- want to put support for every single file system in creation into
- 'mount'"; the reason why it tries to run "mount_<fstype>" is to allow
- new file system types to be added to the system without having to hack
- up the "mount" command.
