From 89d705a892b3476de14e548f3f9b0af96207d4b0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Felix Pehla <29adc1fd92@gmail.com> Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 14:35:58 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] man/fstab-generator: fix option list and make formatting consistent Add "overlay", which is already mentioned further down below, to the list of possible options. Consistently use for possible values of systemd.volatile=, rather than or no special formatting. Use yes/no rather than true/false as boolean since that is what's used everywhere else and I'm already touching the lines anyway. --- man/systemd-fstab-generator.xml | 10 +++++----- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/man/systemd-fstab-generator.xml b/man/systemd-fstab-generator.xml index 43f573dd72..8e684b2986 100644 --- a/man/systemd-fstab-generator.xml +++ b/man/systemd-fstab-generator.xml @@ -214,12 +214,12 @@ systemd.volatile= Controls whether the system shall boot up in volatile mode.
