>Description:
The usage for mount_qemufwcfg(8), for access to the Qemu firmware configuration (https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/specs/fw_cfg.html), is apparently:
# mount_qemufwcfg /mnt
This disagrees with the man page, whose synopsis reads:
SYNOPSIS
mount_qemufwcfg [-F path] [-g gid] [-M dir-mode] [-m file-mode] [-u uid]
[fuse-options] special node
This is also incompatible with the mount(8) command.
At the very least, the man page should correctly show how to use it.
Ideally, `mount -t qemufwcfg qemufwcfg /mnt' would work too, and you could put this into fstab(5).
>How-To-Repeat:
try to use mount_qemufwcfg(8) by rtfm
>Fix:
Yes, please!
