Dear writer
About the FreeBSD Handbook
Revision: 48895
Here is a quotation of paragr 17.4.1 p 308
=========
user as /mnt/username . In the following example, replace username
with the login name of the user and usergroup
with the user's primary group:
# mkdir /mnt/ username
# chown username :usergroup /mnt/username
Suppose a USB thumbdrive is plugged in, and a device /dev/da0s1
appears. If the device is formatted with a FAT
le system, the user can mount it using:
% mount -t msdosfs -o -m=644,-M=755 /dev/da0s1 /mnt/ username
Before the device can be unplugged, it must be unmounted first:
% umount /mnt/ username
After device removal, the system message bu er will show messages
similar to the following:
=========
There are three occurrences of an invalid space (I think) after /mnt/:
the first # line
both % lines
Right?
While copying/pasting, I also found that there is a non ascii character
after "with a FAT", in the words "first" and "buffer".
Is the blank intended in 19.4.2:
/dev/zvol/ poolname/dataset
Good work!

P.S. I am new to Freebsd. I like the Handbook, because it seems
up-to-date and strikes a balance between too little and too many
details. However it is always good to expose concepts first. For
instance, in zfs, what is a dataset? I had to scan the book to
understand and still... For now I assume that it is something created
with zfs create. But many datasets appear created by the install
procedure. So it is not so clearcut. Not before 19.8 are ZFS features
exposed in a rather reference format. I would hope that the definition
of pool, vdev, dataset be more clearly exposed early in the chapter.
