during boot. Mountall ensures that these are done in the right
order. It's informed by udev about devices becoming available. It
emits some Upstart events upon reaching certain states, in
particular ‘local-filesystems’ after all local filesystems have been
mounted successfully, ‘remote-filesystems’ after all network
filesystems have been mounted, and ‘filesystem’ (sic) when all
filesystems have been mounted.
Currently, if a filesystem fails to mount or doesn't exist, then the
mingettys won't start and the boot will appear to hang. This is
because mountall doesn't emit an event for failing filesystems and
waits indefinitely for the filesystems to become available.
* The ‘filesystems’ and ‘swap’ Upstart jobs are gone. (Support for
encrypted swap devices is temporarily gone.)
* Generate a proper /etc/fstab from the ‘fileSystems’ and
‘swapDevices’ options.

The continue keyword was previously used to mount the next device, but
the loop in has been removed. (see r17919)

current NixOS module style and improved some option descriptions.
Hopefully I didn't break too much :-)

* Don't try to remount CIFS filesystems.
* For devices specified by label, use /dev/disk/by-label instead of
LABEL=. The initrd already did this.
* Improved the flagging of pseudo devices.

initialising network interfaces, etc.) to modules/tasks. This
follows the Upstart terminology: a service is a job that doesn't
usually terminate (e.g. a daemon), while a task is a job that does
some work and then exits.
