15 systemd-remount-fs.service is an early boot service that applies mount
16 options listed in fstab(5), or gathered from the partition table (when
17 systemd-gpt-auto-generator(8) is active) to the root file system, the
18 /usr/ file system, and the kernel API file systems. This is required so
19 that the mount options of these file systems — which are pre-mounted by
20 the kernel, the initial RAM disk, container environments or system
21 manager code — are updated to those configured in /etc/fstab and the
22 other sources. This service ignores normal file systems and only
23 changes the root file system (i.e. /), /usr/, and the virtual kernel
24 API file systems such as /proc/, /sys/ or /dev/. This service executes
25 no operation if no configuration is found (/etc/fstab does not exist or
26 lists no entries for the mentioned file systems, or the partition table
27 does not contain relevant entries).

32 Note: systemd-remount-fs.service is usually pulled in by systemd-fstab-
33 generator(8), hence it is also affected by the kernel command line
34 option fstab=, which may be used to disable the generator. It may also
35 pulled in by systemd-gpt-auto-generator(8), which is affected by
36 systemd.gpt_auto and other options.
