type seems harmless enough.

Mounting Solaris cachefs is very different. Their syntax is of the form=
:

mount -F cachefs [    generic_options     ] -o backfstype=3Dfile_system=
_type   [  specific_options  ]  [ -O ] special mount_point

So an example given on their manpage is as follows:

------
     The  following  example  CacheFS-mounts  the   file   system
     server1:/user2,  which is already NFS-mounted on /usr/abc as
     /xyz.

      example# mount -F cachefs -o backfstype=3Dnfs,backpath=3D/usr/abc=
,
          cachedir=3D/cache1 server1:/user2 /xyz
------

Cheers,
