I suppose daemons that provide mountpoints (FUSE/etc) might be one use case, but the more common one would be daemons that require mountpoints (especially ones that might not be quickly available at boot). Maybe my 500TB mythtv recording directory takes 2min to fsck and mount so I'd like to delay startup of mythtv. Hosts that run lots of containers or such with iSCSI mounts might be another use case - they could be mounted in parallel and their containers could start as they become available. -- Rich
