Putting a line in /etc/fstab is a functional equivalent of creating a tmp.mount that overrides the packaged one. When you have a line in fstab, on boot the systemd fstab generator creates a tmp.mount file in /run/systemd/ that overrides the OS tmp.mount. Any x-systemd mount options get translated into proper systemd options. -- Jonathan Billings _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
