Traditionally we don't have those, just mount_foofs(8), but I don't
think that's such a good state of affairs; the mount_* pages are
necessarily about mounting and not so about what the FS in question is
or does or is good for.

However, real FS man pages should be in section 4, I think.

(and we should have section 5 man pages documenting the layout and
structures, at least for some filesystems.)
