Use .Dq instead of hardcoding `` and ''.

Suggested by: gjb


# 222832 07-Jun-2011 delphij

Add a special mount option "failok" to indicate that the administrator wants
the system to proceed to boot without bailing out into single user mode,
even when the file system can not be successfully mounted.

This option is implemented in mount(8) and not passed into kernel.

# 193625 07-Jun-2009 imp

I don't know why fstab doesn't document that the fifth field specifies
the number of days between backups. All it says is frequency, with no
units given. It likely should say "the interval in days between backups"
instead, but not today.


# 191994 11-May-2009 imp

LFS cannot be loaded, compiled, torn, spindled or mutilated in
FreeBSD: it was deleted around FreeBSD 3.x...


# 185217 23-Nov-2008 keramida

Enhance the explanation of using filesystem-specific mount options
in /etc/fstab. We do support passing special options on a per
filesystem type basis, like `-u UID -g GID' for mount_msdosfs, but
the syntax of these options in fstab is non-obvious and a lot of
users have asked about it.

# 88677 29-Dec-2001 sheldonh

Now that automatic mounting of network filesystems is delayed until
network startup, remove the warning about automatic mounts.


# 88338 21-Dec-2001 sheldonh

Forced commit to provide background for previous delta:

There are two reasons why automounting remote filesystems can't be
delayed until after network initialization:

1) The right way would be to teach mount to distinguish between network
filesystems and local filesystems. This is not as easy as it was for
df, because the latter only has to cope with filesystems for which
kernel support is already present.

2) The easy way (see rev 1.268 of src/etc/rc for an extensible example)
is made awkward by a problem reported by dougb and addressed in
rev 1.286 of src/etc/rc, where mount_nfs misuses vfsload() and does
not correctly arrage for the loading of nfsclient support.

Since neither of these problems looks like it will be solved before
4.5-RELEASE, the previous delta to this file provides a safety belt,
which I'd like to encourage folks to use by applying a change to
sysinstall, described in a message sent to the freebsd-audit list
(Message-ID <5062.1008868549@axl.seasidesoftware.co.za>).


# 88303 20-Dec-2001 sheldonh

Recommend the use of 'noauto' for all remote filesystems other than
NFS, so that rc(8) doesn't choke on them when it tries to mount
them before the network is initialized.


# 86879 24-Nov-2001 dd

Remove a stale list of supported filesystems. If we do need a list of
filesystems somewhere, it probably shouldn't be here, and we should
make a better effort to keep it updated.


# 84306 01-Oct-2001 ru

mdoc(7) police: Use the new .In macro for #include statements.


# 79727 14-Jul-2001 schweikh

Removed whitespace at end-of-line; no content changes. I simply did
cd src/share; find man[1-9] -type f|xargs perl -pi -e 's/[ \t]+$//'

BTW, what editors are the culprits? I'm using vim and it shows
me whitespace at EOL in troff files with a thick blue block...

to the '-o' flag in the mount(8) and filesystem specific
mount pages where information can be obtained about the available
options.
