Hello! Sure, I've seen some distributions do this, go for it! You can supply everything important in fstab through the kernel command line: device => root; type => rootfstype; options => rootflags Mount point, dump and fsck cannot be supplied, but even fsck is provided by systemd-fsck-root.service. Also mind that you can supply rw or ro for the rootfs to be mounted as such, and that ext2/3/4 can store flags within itself, see -o under tune2fs(8). -- Oliver Temlin On Fri, Aug 29, 2014 at 2:04 PM, Kalrish Bäakjen <kalrish.antrax@gmail.com> wrote:
Hello, I have been playing with the initramfs, and I noticed that the root filesystem is mounted in read-write mode in early init. Since, by the time /etc/fstab is available, the filesystem on which it resides (presumably, the root filesystem) is already mounted, and mounting it is anyway early init's task, not real init's (because the real init cannot be found
without
the initramfs), there seems to be no point in keeping it listed. I haven't found anything about this, but commenting out the pertinent line hasn't broken anything. Is it fine, or are there any reasons for it to be listed in fstab?
