It probably is worth leaving in some statment about this not being 100%

That's true; I've added a BUGS section.

Apply feedback from emaste@ and tijl@.

We mark up ports paths with .Pa if I recall correctly.

Unneeded .Pp, this macro has no effect before/after .Sh

Fixed, thanks!

Please add something about linux_skip_mounts from https://reviews.freebsd.org/D22320

This revision now requires changes to proceed.Nov 12 2019, 10:33 AM

Document linux_mounts_enable.

The linux_base ports run some Linux programs on installation, e.g. Linux ldconfig to create /compat/linux/etc/ld.so.cache. So I would change the order here. First add linux_enable to /etc/rc.conf, then enable Linux compatibility using 'service linux start', and then install linux_base-c7. That also means that /etc/rc.d/linux should create /compat/linux and /compat/linux/{dev,proc,sys} before mounting file systems because these directories might not exist.

Good point, but can... we move it to another review? What you're suggesting also touches the rc script itself, and there might be different ways it could be solved.

Sure.
