Hi,
I have an UFS partition mounted read-only. There is a label on it, and
it appears twice under dev: as ad10s1h and as ufs/LIBRARY. Unlike
RW-mounted filesystems, the entry under ufs is not deleted after
mounting (either using /dev/ad10s1h or /dev/ufs/LIBRARY as special
argument of mount).

Was this behavior remarked by others? I have not found a PR about
this, I maybe should do this, right?
this is right behaviour. you may use the device many times if read-only,
but not read-write.
