Neil: My purpose is not about controlling the mount/unmount of the filesystem
itself. Rather it is about controlling other subsequent actions (e.g.
installing files) only if the expected filesystem for that path is already
mounted.
Nick: Yes, my reading of the ref manual documentation of "storage:" seems to
concur with yours, that the promises seems always to be about "nfs". If our
reading is incorrect, then we have a serious documentation bug. (But my query
isn't about controlling the mount itself; rather it is about controlling
actions based on whether the filesystem is or is not mounted.)
To re-iterate: Have a look at 1280 where I try to apply a little more
generality. We have functions to query files ('isdir()', 'fileexists()',
etc.), but we seem to lack analogous functions for querying filesystems,
mountpoints, etc.
