Re: [arch-general] fstab and root filesystem

Thanks a lot, Temlin! About root fsck, I guess it should be run from the initramfs...? AFAIK, rw-mounted filesystems must not be checked.

That's exactly what happens, see the service file: "ConditionPathIsReadWrite=!/" So you proabably have to add the ro option (if that's not the default), because systemd will remount r/w: systemd-fsck-root.service is before local-fs.target which wants systemd-remount-fs.service, but the man page for the latter mentions that it only runs entries that exist under fstab. I suggest you try it without an entry in fstab, both with ro and rw and report your findings to the fstab page on the wiki. -- Oliver Temlin
