So now I think I know what's going on: Systemd mounts the root device read only at /sysroot, and only then can it read fstab to know what the mount options are. It then remounts rw and includes the mount options in fstab. So any options that aren't supported by remount, won't work. What's odd is that I'm certain discard worked for root on Btrfs, so I wonder if this remount limitation is XFS only or if it applies to any filesystem? In which case, how is anyone getting trim to work on the root device? The only answer I'm thinking of is pretty obscure: use boot parameter rootflags=discard. The rootflags= parameter accepts mount options and applies them to the volume defined by root=. I only know this because Btrfs installs depend on rootflags=subvol=<rootname> to mount the correct subvolume containing root, and subvol=<name> is just a repeat of what's in fstab (typically). -- Chris Murphy -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
