Tom Gundersen 12b42c7667 man: revert dynamic paths for split-usr setups
This did not really work out as we had hoped. Trying to do this upstream
introduced several problems that probably makes it better suited as a
downstream patch after all. At any rate, it is not releaseable in the
current state, so we at least need to revert this before the release.

 * by adjusting the path to binaries, but not do the same thing to the
   search path we end up with inconsistent man-pages. Adjusting the search
   path too would be quite messy, and it is not at all obvious that this is
   worth the effort, but at any rate it would have to be done before we
   could ship this.

 * this means that distributed man-pages does not make sense as they depend
   on config options, and for better or worse we are still distributing
   man pages, so that is something that definitely needs sorting out before
   we could ship with this patch.

 * we have long held that split-usr is only minimally supported in order
   to boot, and something we hope will eventually go away. So before we start
   adding even more magic/effort in order to make this work nicely, we should
   probably question if it makes sense at all.

<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>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<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>

more than once. This option is particularly useful for mount
point declarations that need an additional device to be around
(such as an external journal device for journal file systems)

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>

<refsect1>
<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>.

following:</para>

or other resource to mount. See

the respective device unit is automatically created. (See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.device</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for more information.) This option is
mandatory.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>

<term><varname>Where=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Takes an absolute path of a directory of the

<term><varname>Type=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Takes a string for the file system type. See

<term><varname>DirectoryMode=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Directories of mount points (and any parent

<varlistentry>
<term><varname>TimeoutSec=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Configures the time to wait for the mount
command to finish. If a command does not exit within the
configured time, the mount will be considered failed and be
shut down again. All commands still running will be terminated
forcibly via <constant>SIGTERM</constant>, and after another
delay of this time with <constant>SIGKILL</constant>. (See
<option>KillMode=</option> in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.kill</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.)
Takes a unit-less value in seconds, or a time span value such
