James, it seems to me in this particular case that we could also address this by making the mountall job be 'console log' by default instead of 'console output'. Do you see any reason not to do that?

Hmm, my personal impression is that this is poking through too many layers... mounts aren't meant to be interactive at boot time in the first place, I'd rather we just disallow prompting from mountall (and child processes).
