Yes - it tells fstab-generator running in initrd to generate a unit for the entry. Not exactly - this option tells systemd running on the rootfs as the system manager (see call to fstab_is_extrinsic in mount.c) to ignore a mount created in initrd regardless of what tools were uesd to mount it. -- Łukasz Stelmach Samsung R&D Institute Poland Samsung Electronics
