Nice!
But I still trying to figure out why do we need to keep fstab around.
It is pure legacy.
There can be a migration script to generate /etc/conf.d/*
configuration once, but there is no need to keep it around.
The conf.d can contain everything that fstab contains.
mount_mountpoint_\${NAME}=
mount_type_\${NAME}=
mount_fs_\${NAME}=
mount_opts_\${NAME}=
mount_dump_\${NAME}=
mount_pass_\${NAME}=
There can even be a script to set above environments from fstab as
pure utility given mountpoint as parameter. This will simplify the
service as it will always accept the variables at one form.
