From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How do I get the .mount files systemd generates at boot from fstab? (lemmy.ml)

Since systemd parses fstab and generate .mount files to mount the drives at boot, I figure I might be able to get them somehow without manually converting my fstab to mount files.

edit: they're in /run/systemd/generator/*.mount

How do get the .mount files

Get = obtain / fetch

So, you are indeed correct in your assumption: in order to obtain the files, he would need to make use of the file system.

However, OP has already received the answer he was looking for. Thanks anyways for trying to help him.
