cause restarting of jobs to hang indefinitely because the required
"start on" condition never triggers.
For instance, after "stop nfs-kernel-nfsd", "start nfs-kernel-nfsd"
will hang until we do "stop portmap; start portmap". This is due to
the "starting nfs-kernel-nfsd and started portmap" condition in
the nfs-kernel-mountd job. Apparently, because portmap is already
running, the condition "started portmap" never happens because no

it allows the `mountall' task to start mounting filesystems as soon
as udev is running and devices become available (i.e. it doesn't

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.

We could not start on 'filesystems', because filesystems is written as an upstart task.
Additionally, as upstart calls the postfix start/stop script and it does not act as a
daemon, we write it as a preStart/postStop job. Then we don't have monitoring or respawn,
but at least upstart does not get confused on its state.

The file contents were taken as a file path. This resulted in a system with a totally broken /etc:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root nixbld 20 22 feb 21:45 exports -> /home/sheevaplugroot
Notice that the inputrc has strange contents. In my case, that disabled me to type 's' or 'i' (at least) in any new interactive shell.
If you notice, the 'exports' symlink should point to a store file, which contents had to look like:
/home/sheevaplugroot 192.168.1.4(rw,no_root_squash,no_all_squash)
This patch achieves this later behaviour rather than the former.

Eelco Dolstra and Nicolas Pierron both kept asking me to pay attention

properly. Moreover you don't want those examples to be evaluated (maybe
compiling a kernel ?) when building the manual only.
So use Strings and add a copy & paste note.

for legal reasons.
