Dear writer
About the FreeBSD Handbook
Revision: 48895
Here is a quotation of paragr 17.4.1 p 308
=========
user as /mnt/username . In the following example, replace username with the
login name of the user and usergroup
with the user's primary group:
# mkdir /mnt/ username
# chown username :usergroup /mnt/username
Suppose a USB thumbdrive is plugged in, and a device /dev/da0s1 appears. If
the device is formatted with a FAT
le system, the user can mount it using:
% mount -t msdosfs -o -m=644,-M=755 /dev/da0s1 /mnt/ username
Before the device can be unplugged, it must be unmounted first:
% umount /mnt/ username
After device removal, the system message bu er will show messages similar to
the following:
=========
There are three occurrences of an invalid space (I think) after /mnt/:
the first # line
both % lines
Right?
Well, not in the HTML version. Are you looking at HTML, PDF, or some
other output format?
The conversion from one format to another might introduce artifacts like
extra spaces or other characters.
While copying/pasting, I also found that there is a non ascii character after
"with a FAT", in the words "first" and "buffer".
Is the blank intended in 19.4.2:
/dev/zvol/ poolname/dataset
Good work!

P.S. I am new to Freebsd. I like the Handbook, because it seems up-to-date
and strikes a balance between too little and too many details. However it is
always good to expose concepts first. For instance, in zfs, what is a
dataset? I had to scan the book to understand and still... For now I assume
that it is something created with zfs create. But many datasets appear
created by the install procedure. So it is not so clearcut. Not before 19.8
are ZFS features exposed in a rather reference format. I would hope that the
definition of pool, vdev, dataset be more clearly exposed early in the
chapter.
Many of the ZFS terms are defined at the end of the ZFS chapter:
