>Description:
	mount_mfs is hard-coded to use mode 01777 as the permissions of
	the root inode of the mfs, and the current user/group as the
	user/group of the root inode.  This is not useful for scratch
	filesystems where global write permissions is not desired - for
	example /var/run.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Put "swap /var/run mfs rw,-s=8192" in your fstab, and then look
	at the perms of /var/run after a reboot.

>Fix:
	None given.  As for option names, -m for mode is used, but -p
	for permissions isn't. -o for owner is used, -u for user and -g
	for group isn't.
