NAME
       genfstab - generate output suitable for addition to an fstab file

SYNOPSIS
       genfstab [options] root

DESCRIPTION
       genfstab helps fill in an fstab file by autodetecting all the current
       mounts below a given mountpoint and printing them in fstab-compatible
       format to standard output. It can be used to persist a manually mounted
       filesystem hierarchy and is often used during the initial install and
       configuration of an OS.

OPTIONS
       -f <filter>
           Restrict output to mountpoints matching the prefix filter.

       -L
           Use labels for source identifiers (shortcut for -t LABEL).

       -p
           Exclude pseudofs mounts (default behavior).

       -P
           Include pseudofs mounts.

       -t <tag>
           Use tag for source identifiers (should be one of: LABEL, UUID,
           PARTLABEL, PARTUUID).

       -U
           Use UUIDs for source identifiers (shortcut for -t UUID).

       -h
           Output syntax and command line options.
