+        * In /etc/fstab two new mount options are now understood:
+          x-systemd.makefs and x-systemd.growfs. The former has the effect that

+          after it is mounted (i.e. if the file system is smaller than the
+          partition it resides on, it's grown). This is similar to the fsck

+          systemd-growfs@.service as necessary, similar to
