OfflineOnUnmount simply means that the tape drive is Offline'd when
unmounting a tape. Offline generally means rewind and eject on modern
tape drives. As far as when an unmount happens, that could be issued at
the command line, or by using AlwaysOpen=no. I don't now what
MaximumOpenWait does at all.
