What were you trying to do?
Attach a UFS filesystem (with device name accidentally misspelled)
using attach.
What's wrong:
Attach forgot to remove the directory it created. E.g., running
"attach -t UFS -m /foo -e bar" creates /foo, runs mount, which
fails, and doesn't remove /foo afterwards.
What should have happened:
Attach should have removed /foo, just like it does for type NFS
lockers.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
