mounting(7)

NAME

   mounting - event signalling that a filesystem is mounting

SYNOPSIS

   mounting  DEVICE=DEVICE MOUNTPOINT=MOUNTPOINT TYPE=TYPE OPTIONS=OPTIONS
   [ENV]...

DESCRIPTION

   The mounting event is generated by the mountall(8) 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
