Hi,

there are four functions in the vfsops(9)-vector that are not documented:
VFS_RENAMELOCK_ENTER, VFS_RENAMELOCK_EXIT, VFS_EXTATTRCTL and VFS_FSYNC.
This is a mess for people who want to understand existing or implement new
filesystems.

There are patches to correct that (and address some smaller issues with the
internals guide): http://komkon2.de/vfsops.9.diff and
http://komkon2.de/chap-file-system.xml.diff

Could someone please check these patches and commit, if applicable?

Then there also is a patch for vnodeops(9) fixing a small type and
hightlighting an issue you only get when looking at the code.
http://komkon2.de/vnodeops.9.diff

Regards, Julian
