<title>Description</title>
- <para><filename>systemd-remount-fs.service</filename> is an
- early boot service that applies mount options listed in
- <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>fstab</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- to the root file system, the <filename>/usr</filename> file system,
- and the kernel API file systems. This is required so that the
- mount options of these file systems — which are pre-mounted by
- the kernel, the initial RAM disk, container environments or system
- manager code — are updated to those listed in
- <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>. This service ignores normal file
- systems and only changes the root file system (i.e.
- <filename>/</filename>), <filename>/usr</filename> and the virtual
- kernel API file systems such as <filename>/proc</filename>,
- <filename>/sys</filename> or <filename>/dev</filename>. This
- service executes no operation if <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>
- does not exist or lists no entries for the mentioned file
- systems.</para>
