this man page is out-of-date.  you should remove it.
it belongs to the old usb setup.  usb(4) now has the
correct arguments.

seperately,

> man 4 disk # disk(4)

this page also does not exist.  i don't know if it is ment
to, but it doesn't currently.

cp: can't stat /n/sources/plan9/sys/man/4/disk: '/n/sources/plan9/sys/man/4/disk' does not exist

[9fans] manpages broken/outdated

[Bela Valek]

I have checked it on 3 different installations, the 'usbdisk' manpage
is missing, on fresh installations too. Its not a filesystem
corruption for sure. Most other USB-related manpages still list the
nonexistent -f and -l parameters for the 'usb/disk' command.

Greetings: Béla

If it is of any consolation, it seems to be here:

Erik: thank you for helping, I see that the usb(4) manpage is up to
date. The old usbdisk(4) manpage had a working example for attaching a
FAT filesystem formatted USB hardrive. Can you tell me, where I can
find the updated version of this example?

Thanks: Béla

see /rc/bin/usbfat:

Re: [9fans] manpages broken/outdated

[Bela Valek]

Well, then simply running 'usbfat:' is supposed to work, right? I see
the warning about the untested drivers in usb(4), so a bug is no
surprise i guess... I try to create a proper bugreport with exact
hardware specification then.
