      2  1.1  bgrayson 
      3  1.1  bgrayson Overall notes:
      4  1.1  bgrayson 
      5  1.1  bgrayson   1.  Whenever mounting anything with mount_portal, always
      6  1.1  bgrayson     specify absolute paths.  By specifying an absolute path for the
      7  1.1  bgrayson     configuration file, it can be re-parsed by sending a HUP to the
      8  1.1  bgrayson     mount process.  But since mount_portal calls daemon(), which
      9  1.1  bgrayson     does a chdir("/"), the re-parse will fail unless the
     10  1.1  bgrayson     specified file is absolute, not relative.
     11  1.1  bgrayson 
     12  1.1  bgrayson   2.  The mount point should always be specified as an absolute
     13  1.1  bgrayson     path.  Otherwise, umount may not be able to unmount it, as it
     14  1.1  bgrayson     first converts a relative path to an absolute path before
     15  1.1  bgrayson     checking against the mounted file systems (see
     16  1.1  bgrayson     realpath(3)).  If you mistakenly mount on portal, instead of
     17  1.1  bgrayson     `pwd`/portal, you can umount with "umount -R portal", which
     18  1.1  bgrayson     may seg fault, but it will umount.
