I have an use case that requires persisting a mount (/sysroot/mnt) from initramfs. The system is booted with systemd.volatile, so only /usr of /sysroot is used, rest is tmpfs. Ideally I should add the mount unit in the /usr itself but /usr is a read only signed fs that I can't modify for reasons. I can arbitrarily change initramfs though. As it is an ephemerous system, there isn't any other place. Is it somehow possible? I couldn't think of a way surviving the pivot_root for volatile.
Did you try to mount it in initrd on /sysroot/mnt? It needs to be after systemd-volatile-roor.service.
