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
