From: Nickolai Zeldovich <kolya@MIT.EDU>

System name:		pepsi.mit.edu
Type and version:	SPARC/5 8.3.27 (with mkserv)
Display type:		cgsix

Shell:			/bin/athena/tcsh
Window manager:		ctwm -f .ctwmrc.8bpp

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:
	attach(1)
