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.

because /proc/swaps contains resolved paths as well. Without this,
the swap device will be turned off again by the $unused code.

* Miss-interpretation of the --skip option of cryptsetup. Ciphered partition labels are not supported. Labels are erased when doing mkswap on the ciphered partition.
* Avoid doing swapon on devices which are already listed in /proc/swaps.
* Remove no longer listed devices with only one swapoff command.

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.
