Nice! |

But I still trying to figure out why do we need to keep fstab around. |
| 11 |
It is pure legacy. |

There can be a migration script to generate /etc/conf.d/* |
| 14 |
configuration once, but there is no need to keep it around. |
| 15 |
The conf.d can contain everything that fstab contains. |

mount_mountpoint_\${NAME}= |
| 18 |
mount_type_\${NAME}= |
| 19 |
mount_fs_\${NAME}= |
| 20 |
mount_opts_\${NAME}= |
| 21 |
mount_dump_\${NAME}= |
| 22 |
mount_pass_\${NAME}= |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
There can even be a script to set above environments from fstab as |
| 25 |
pure utility given mountpoint as parameter. This will simplify the |
| 26 |
service as it will always accept the variables at one form. |
