remount-rootfs.service

Is really necesary this? it delays my boot 2 seconds just for “mount -o
remount /”

It is there to ensure root is mounted with options specified in /etc/fstab. Obvious example is root mounted read-only initially through kernel command line.

ha! Do you want to have Linux running? If not, then you don’t need it.

I ask just to know if I miss something, I have masked it and the only
thing that happen is a 2 seconds fast boot

Well, / can be initially mounted r/w and the system will work as long as that
file system does not need to be fixed. Remember that fsck cannot repair a file
system that is mounted read/write. Whenever / was unclean, then you would need
to find your Live CD, boot it, fix the problem with /, and then reboot the
system. Would you rather spend 15 or 20 minutes whenever rebooting after any
unclean shutdown, or 2 seconds every reboot? How often do you reboot?

good point, thanks
