Lennart Poettering 818bf54632 tree-wide: drop 'This file is part of systemd' blurb
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html

The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.

hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.

<title>Description</title>
<para><filename>systemd-remount-fs.service</filename> is an
early boot service that applies mount options listed in
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>fstab</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
to the root file system, the <filename>/usr</filename> file system,
and the kernel API file systems. This is required so that the
mount options of these file systems — which are pre-mounted by
the kernel, the initial RAM disk, container environments or system
manager code — are updated to those listed in
<filename>/etc/fstab</filename>. This service ignores normal file
systems and only changes the root file system (i.e.
<filename>/</filename>), <filename>/usr</filename> and the virtual
kernel API file systems such as <filename>/proc</filename>,
<filename>/sys</filename> or <filename>/dev</filename>. This
service executes no operation if <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>
does not exist or lists no entries for the mentioned file
systems.</para>
