>Description:

/etc/disktab has a list of field descriptions which is incomplete
and which has slightly different descriptions of fields than the
disktab(5) manpage.  Having this info in this file is an extra
maintenance task which is not worth the effort and it should be
replaced with a reference to the manpage.

 Could someone please do SOMETHING with this PR which has been sitting
 in the DB with a patch for 2.5 years without a single followup.  All
 it does is delete some poorly-maintained stuff that's better
 maintained in the file's manpage.
