DESCRIPTION
The

event is generated by the

daemon when it is about to mount a filesystem.
mountall(8)
will wait for all services started by this event to be running, all tasks
started by this event to have finished and all jobs stopped by this event
to be stopped before proceeding with mounting the filesystem.
The
DEVICE, MOUNTPOINT, TYPE and OPTIONS
environment variables contain the values of the
fstab(5)
fields for this mountpoint.
EXAMPLE
A tool that should be run before mounting the
/var
filesystem might use:
-
start on mounting MOUNTPOINT=/var
task
