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 initrd, container environments or system manager code —
21 are updated to those configured in /etc/fstab and the other sources.
22 This service ignores normal file systems and only changes the root file
23 system (i.e. /), /usr/, and the virtual kernel API file systems such
24 as /proc/, /sys/ or /dev/. This service executes no operation if no
25 configuration is found (/etc/fstab does not exist or lists no entries
26 for the mentioned file systems, or the partition table does not contain
27 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.
