systemd/man/systemd.mount.xml
Filipe Brandenburger 681eb9cf2b man: generate configured paths in manpages
In particular, use /lib/systemd instead of /usr/lib/systemd in distributions
like Debian which still have not adopted a /usr merge setup.

Use XML entities from man/custom-entities.ent to replace configured paths while
doing XSLT processing of the original XML files. There was precedent of some
files (such as systemd.generator.xml) which were already using this approach.

This addresses most of the (manual) fixes from this patch:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/tree/debian/patches/Fix-paths-in-man-pages.patch?h=experimental-220

The idea of using generic XML entities was presented here:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-May/032240.html

This patch solves almost all the issues, with the exception of:
- Path to /bin/mount and /bin/umount.
- Generic statements about preference of /lib over /etc.

These will be handled separately by follow up patches.

Tested:
- With default configure settings, ran "make install" to two separate
  directories and compared the output to confirm they matched exactly.
- Used a set of configure flags including $CONFFLAGS from Debian:
  http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/tree/debian/rules
  Installed the tree and confirmed the paths use /lib/systemd instead of
  /usr/lib/systemd and that no other unexpected differences exist.
- Confirmed that `make distcheck` still passes.

<title>Description</title>
<para>A unit configuration file whose name ends in
<literal>.mount</literal> encodes information about a file system
mount point controlled and supervised by systemd.</para>
<para>This man page lists the configuration options specific to
this unit type. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for the common options of all unit configuration files. The common
configuration items are configured in the generic [Unit] and
[Install] sections. The mount specific configuration options are
configured in the [Mount] section.</para>
<para>Additional options are listed in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
which define the execution environment the
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>mount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
binary is executed in, and in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.kill</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
which define the way the processes are terminated, and in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.resource-control</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
which configure resource control settings for the processes of the
service. Note that the User= and Group= options are not
particularly useful for mount units specifying a
<literal>Type=</literal> option or using configuration not
specified in <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>;
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>mount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
will refuse options that are not listed in
<filename>/etc/fstab</filename> if it is not run as UID 0.</para>
<para>Mount units must be named after the mount point directories
they control. Example: the mount point
<filename noindex='true'>/home/lennart</filename> must be
configured in a unit file <filename>home-lennart.mount</filename>.
For details about the escaping logic used to convert a file system
path to a unit name, see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
<para>Optionally, a mount unit may be accompanied by an automount
unit, to allow on-demand or parallelized mounting. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.automount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
<para>If a mount point is beneath another mount point in the file
system hierarchy, a dependency between both units is created
automatically.</para>
<para>Mount points created at runtime (independently of unit files
or <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>) will be monitored by systemd
and appear like any other mount unit in systemd. See
<filename>/proc/self/mountinfo</filename> description in
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>proc</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
</para>
<para>Some file systems have special semantics as API file systems
for kernel-to-userspace and userspace-to-userspace interfaces. Some
of them may not be changed via mount units, and cannot be
disabled. For a longer discussion see <ulink
url="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/APIFileSystems">API
File Systems</ulink>.</para>

<title><filename>fstab</filename></title>
<para>Mount units may either be configured via unit files, or via
<filename>/etc/fstab</filename> (see
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>fstab</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details). Mounts listed in <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>
will be converted into native units dynamically at boot and when
the configuration of the system manager is reloaded. In general,
configuring mount points through <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>
is the preferred approach. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-fstab-generator</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details about the conversion.</para>
<para>When reading <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> a few special
mount options are understood by systemd which influence how
dependencies are created for mount points. systemd will create a
dependency of type <option>Wants</option> or
<option>Requires</option> (see option <option>nofail</option>
below), from either <filename>local-fs.target</filename> or
<filename>remote-fs.target</filename>, depending whether the file
system is local or remote.</para>

system that merges multiple mount points). See

<para>If a mount point is configured in both
<filename>/etc/fstab</filename> and a unit file that is stored
below <filename>/usr</filename>, the former will take precedence.
If the unit file is stored below <filename>/etc</filename>, it
will take precedence. This means: native unit files take
precedence over traditional configuration files, but this is
superseded by the rule that configuration in
<filename>/etc</filename> will always take precedence over
configuration in <filename>/usr</filename>.</para>

<title>Options</title>
<para>Mount files must include a [Mount] section, which carries
information about the file system mount points it supervises. A
number of options that may be used in this section are shared with
other unit types. These options are documented in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
and
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.kill</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.

<listitem><para>Configures the time to wait for the mount
