...One of the pet peeves I have with FreeBSD is that

USB thumb drives with different filesystems on them.
...What I would like to do is:
mount /dev/ad0s4 /mnt
and if I do not specify a filesystem type with -t, the mount
program should "magically" figure out how to mount the disk.
This is closer to how the mount program behaves on Linux for example.
In this patch, I only modified the userland mount program.
2. "mount -t auto" might be closer to POLA
great feature. I probably agree that "mount -t auto" might
be a safer way to implement it, but other than that i'd
love to have it too.
