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
