If I'm reading things right, actually the default behaviour is (when no hints are supplied in kernel cmdline) : 1. systemd runs fsck on root from initramfs 2. systemd mounts root fs ro 3. switch-root onto real system 4. systemd-fsck-root runs 5. systemd-remount-fs remounts / as rw Also just noticed another interesting thing - systemd-fsck-root.service is only loaded dynamically, when /etc/fstab has a non-zero passno for /. So maybe the idea is that anyone running a regular and modern dracut/systemd setup sets passno=0 for / in fstab, with the knowledge that fsck of / is done by the initramfs.
