> None of the above items exist as an independent command, FWIW yes they do, in most cases (though you're right if you're saying
that those are not their exact names). The UFS-specific mount command,
(manpage mount_ufs) for example, is /usr/lib/fs/ufs/mount while the
UDFS-specific labelit command (manpage labelit_udfs) lives in
/usr/lib/fs/udfs/labelit and so on.
