[arch-general] Mounting root according to fstab the first time (fstab in initrd)?

[Devon Smith]

Im not sure why you would mask the remount service. He has the
space_cache option specified in his /etc/fstab. From what the mailing
list states (as Garmine put it), BTRFS is not mounted with this option
at boot by default and when the filesystem is remounted to rw, it will
not accept the space_cache parameter for some reason when it remounts.
I can't get to the mailing list right now to read the whole thing, the
site is blocked here at work.

Cheers from Colorado Springs by the way, I see you are in Boulder.
