Does systemd not use the standard mount program and follow /etc/fstab?
It does. Though it does not use "mount -a", but rather mounts each fs separately.
Ah, that ties in nicely with the weird symptoms I'm seeing right now. For background, you can read my recent forum post here - https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1146498#p1146498 but its not necessary to this question
Basically as part of troubleshooting the above problem, I attempted to reformat my /home partition (/dev/sda3) on my desktop to btrfs after quitting X and stopping the related stuff. I also tried this from a new boot without ever touching X.
umount /dev/sda3 worked, but mkfs.btrfs didn't, giving me 'still mounted' errors. When I boot without systemd (initscripts only) then umounting and mkfs.btrfs works fine.
Related - when I run systemctl -a | grep sda I get (on my systemd laptop, but got the same on my desktop), trimmed for readability dev-sda.device loaded active plugged ST9250827AS dev-sda1.device loaded active plugged ST9250827AS sys-devi...da-sda1.device loaded active plugged ST9250827AS sys-devi...da-sda2.device loaded active plugged ST9250827AS
Do I need to do something additional to get systemd to 'give up' partitions totally?
What does findmnt say?
