 383 NOTES
 384        A rewritable media or PCMCIA memory card or PCMCIA ata card containing
 385        a ufs file system created on a SPARC-based system (using newfs(1M)) is
 386        not identical to a rewritable media or PCMCIA memory card containing a
 387        ufs file system created on an x86 based system. Do not interchange any
 388        removable media containing ufs between these platforms; use cpio(1) or
 389        tar(1) to transfer files on diskettes or memory cards between them. For
 390        interchangeable filesystems refer to pcfs(7FS) and udfs(7FS).

 393        rmformat might not list all removable devices in virtualization
 394        environments.
 395 
 396 BUGS
 397        Currently, bad sector mapping is not supported on floppy diskettes or
 398        PCMCIA memory cards. Therefore, a diskette or memory card is unusable
 399        if rmformat finds an error (bad sector).
