+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+utility is used to control mount verification GEOM class.
+When configured, it passes all the I/O requests to the underlying provider.
+When the underlying provider disappears - for example because the disk device
+got disconnected - it queues all the I/O requests and waits for the provider
+to reappear.
+When that happens, it attaches to it and sends the queued requests.
+.Pp
+The first argument to
+.Nm
+indicates an action to be performed:
+.Bl -tag -width ".Cm destroy"

+.It Va kern.geom.mountver.debug : No 0
+Debug level of the
+.Nm MOUNTVER
+GEOM class.
+This can be set to a number between 0 and 3 inclusive.
+If set to 0 minimal debug information is printed, and if set to 3 the
+maximum amount of debug information is printed.
+.It Va kern.geom.mountver.check.check_ident : No 1
