Exam 201-450 topic 1 question 18 discussion

The systemd-fstab-generator, which generates mount units for file systems based on /etc/fstab entries during the system boot process. However, it doesn't create individual "system mount units" as units specifically named or labeled for mounting. The primary purpose of a system mount unit is indeed to allow the command mount (utilizing systemd) to manage and handle the mounting and unmounting of file systems within the systemd environment. These units define how and where file systems should be mounted or unmounted when triggered by the mount command. The more accurate representation of the purpose of a system mount unit aligns closely with option D. Systemd uses unit files, including system mount units, to manage the mounting and unmounting of file systems when instructed by the mount command. Therefore, the primary interaction with these units occurs through the mount command in systemd for file system operations.

I think it's C. https://www.linux.org/docs/man8/systemd-fstab-generator.html

It is definetly C! "systemd-fstab-generator is a generator that translates /etc/fstab (see fstab(5) for details) into native systemd units early at boot and when configuration of the system manager is reloaded. This will instantiate mount and swap units as necessary." https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-fstab-generator.html
