>Description:
The BUGS section of mount_union(8) says that fsck_ffs(8) can be used to add whiteout support to an existing FFS file system using the -c option. While fsck_ffs(8) decribes the use of the -c option, there is no mention of how to view or change the state of whiteout support for a file system.
>How-To-Repeat:
Read mount_union(8) and fsck_ffs(8).
>Fix:
Find out how to determine whether a file system has whiteout support and document it somewhere.
Correct mount_union(8) to point to this information.
