So we have a resolution for the "main" pages.

Filesystems come (and go), so probably an complete and exhaustive list
is not possible in one place.

Given this, I propose to close this bug.

If further file systems should be mentioned in filesystems.5, then
please report them individually and they can be reviewed on a case by
case basis. 

Also, it is probably best to contact upstream directly and not using
Debian as proxy. Upstream is just one e-mail (and a CC) away:
E-Mail a...@kernel.org and CC linux-...@vger.kernel.org

Greetings

  Helge

JFTR, those FS mainly referred to in the original bugreport (i.e.
"jfs,xfs or reiserfs") have already been added to man-pages-2.73 whose
Changes accordingly list

| filesystems.5
| mtk
| Added Reiserfs, XFS, JFS to list of file systems.

The others contained in the patch have not, however, but for some of
them there exist dedicated man pages in their respective packages:

afs in openafs-client
btrfs in btrfs-progs
ecryptfs in ecryptfs-utils
gfs2 in gfs2-utils
ocfs2 in ocfs2-tools
spufs in manpages ;-)
sysfs in manpages ;-)
(this list may be neither exhaustive nor entirely accurate)

Cheers,
Flo

Hello Tobias and Michael,

I quote yours previous private reply about debian bug #171681 on the 
manpage list with my next post about it and a copy of the last patch.

About this bug I had send this first patch to M. Kerrisk. He rejected 
it. Too long for a good review. See this thread on 
linux-...@vger.kernel.org [1].


I started to break my patch and some passages were corrected (see 
patches accepted from March 2015) [2].


The list is long and it must be controlled because my initial patch was 
only to add all FS. Then I wanted to check every description with the 
kernel doc.


(PS: Sorry, I changed my PC before a disaster and yet, my copy of git is 
on a USB key that I do not have with me. I can not do more to help.)

b) Send me a *list* of the filesystems you propose to add,
possibly with suggestions on how those FSes could be added
in patches that add multiple related FSes.


Here is a list:

adfs, afs, affs (five variants: DOS/0, DOS/1, DOS/2, DOS/3, DOS/4, DOS/5),
befs, bfs, btrfs, ceph, cifs, coda, coherent, configfs, cramfs, debugfs,
devpts, dlmfs, ecryptfs, efivarfs, exofs, f2fs, fat, gfs2, hfs, hfsplus,
logfs, nilfs2, ocfs2, omfs, pohmelfs, qnx6, ramfs, reiserfs, romfs, spufs,
spufs, squashfs, sysfs, tmpfs, ubifs, udf, ufs, v9fs, usbfs, xenix


Any ideas about ways of grouping these? I'd rather not receive one
patch with them all...


No idea of grouping. In packages of two or three?


Okay -- if nothing better, that will do.
