NAME
       systemd-fstab-generator - Unit generator for /etc/fstab

SYNOPSIS
       /lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-fstab-generator

DESCRIPTION
       systemd-fstab-generator is a generator that translates /etc/fstab (see fstab(5) for
       details) into native systemd units early at boot and when configuration of the system
       manager is reloaded. This will instantiate mount and swap units as necessary.

       The passno field is treated like a simple boolean, and the ordering information is
       discarded. However, if the root file system is checked, it is checked before all the other
       file systems.

       See systemd.mount(5) and systemd.swap(5) for more information about special /etc/fstab
       mount options this generator understands.

       systemd-fstab-generator implements the generator specification[1].

KERNEL COMMAND LINE
       systemd-fstab-generator understands the following kernel command line parameters:

       fstab=, rd.fstab=
           Takes a boolean argument. Defaults to "yes". If "no", causes the generator to ignore
           any mounts or swaps configured in /etc/fstab.  rd.fstab= is honored only by initial
           RAM disk (initrd) while fstab= is honored by both the main system and the initrd.
