   Well, not on openSUSE, certainly, as far as I remember.   
      
   What systemd does some times (too many times) is change the traditional   
   behaviour re fstab. Like mounting automatically a partition after you   
   manually umount it.   
      
   Think of:   
   /usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-fstab-generator
