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