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.

as they become available (as determined by monitoring udev) and
emits Upstart events to inform other jobs that the filesystems are
mounted. This is very useful for NixOS (which currently ignores
filesystems in the job dependency chain - very bad).
Unfortunately, mountall depends on Plymouth (a boot splash
implementation). The patch allows mountall to build without
Plymouth. Since Plymouth is also used to inform users about failing
mounts and get responses, some more changes will be needed.
Probably mountall should emit a "mount-failed" event to trigger a
root shell on the console to allow the user to repair the problem.

we will end up having MD5 passwords in passwd. pam_unix will fallback to md5 if the requested
hash algorithm is not available in crypt.

coreutils:
- Don't remove variables such as $PATH and $SHELL from the calling
environment (from upstream).
- When su is invoked with command line arguments for the shell
(e.g. "su - -c 'cmd'"), set argv[0] in the shell to "-su" or
"-<basename>" (as determined by the SU_NAME option in
/etc/login.defs). This is necessary to make Bash compiled with
the NON_INTERACTIVE_LOGIN_SHELLS option to read startup files.
- Don't set $PATH to /bin:/usr/bin but inherit the $PATH of the
caller.

`su'.
* The `usermod' from `shadow' allows setting a supplementary group
equal to the user's primary group, so the special hack for the
`nixbld' group is no longer needed.
* Removed /etc/default/passwd since it's not used by the new passwd.
The hash is configured in pam_unix.
* Move some values for `security.setuidPrograms' and
`security.pam.services' to the appropriate modules.

This ensures that they're gone by the time the shutdown job runs, so
it doesn't have to stop them itself.
* Don't respawn tasks, as it doesn't seem useful (if they fail they're
likely to fail again if they're restarted).

to use the standard (coreutils) tools.
* Use util-linux's `switch_root' to switch over to the target root
FS. It automatically moves over the /dev, /proc and /sys from stage
1, so stage 2 doesn't need to set them up again.
