  56                 a generator that translates

  58                 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>fstab</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
  59                 for details) into native systemd units early at boot
  60                 and when configuration of the system manager is
  61                 reloaded. This will instantiate mount and swap units
  62                 as necessary.</para>

  64                 <para>The <varname>passno</varname> field
  65                 is treated like a simple boolean, and the ordering information
  66                 is discarded. However, the root filesystem is checked
  67                 before all the other filesystems.</para>
