now by default mount the last data track (thus last session), as
opposed to the very first session it has been mounting previously.
This is consistent with the ISO9660 multi-session idea, and the way
other operating systems are working.
There's support to mount arbitrary sessions using the -s option. This
way, you can simulate multi-session CDs on something like vn devices
that don't support CDIO* ioctl commands. You can also force the
historic behaviour with
mount -t cd9660 -o -s=0 /dev/cd0a /cdrom
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
mount_* programs. While we're at it, collapse the four now-identical
mount programs for devfs, fdesc, kernfs, and procfs into links to
a new mount_std(8) which can mount any really generic filesystem
such as these when called with the appropriate argv[0].
Also, convert the mount programs to use sysexits.h.
most common cd9660 and nfs options like God intended them. (It is now
possible to say
mount -o ro,soft,bg,intr there:/foo/bar /foo/bar
again.) This whole getmntopt() business is an incredible botch;
it never should have been anything more than a wrapper around
getsubopt(3). Because if the way the current hackaround is implemented,
options which take arguments (like the old `rsize' and `wsize') are still
unavailable, and must be accessed the new, broken way.
(It's unimaginable how Berkeley managed to screw up one of the few things
about NFS that Sun actually got right to begin with!)
