hi there,
i have just managed to "mount" an ffs partition

actually, it was a typo... nothing dramatic,
no fuzzy testing of mount, a simple typo.

i think we are not entirely on the same page here.
i did not meant the xterm, mrxvt, whatever terminal
windows title (or rather, only indirectly), but the
titles down in tmux's status line:

yes, that is the correct answer.
it's a pitty the kernel is ignoring the partition type id.
it's also a pitty that ffs apparently leaves t
