    <title>Description</title>

    <para><filename>systemd-fstab-generator</filename> is a generator
    that translates <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> (see
    <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>fstab</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    for details) into native systemd units early at boot and when
    configuration of the system manager is reloaded. This will
    instantiate mount and swap units as necessary.</para>

    <para>The <varname>passno</varname> field is treated like a simple
    boolean, and the ordering information is discarded. However, if
    the root file system is checked, it is checked before all the
    other file systems.</para>

    <para>See
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.mount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    and
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.swap</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    for more information about special <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>
    mount options this generator understands.</para>
