Well, not quite. It's actually more complex. We will actually merge
information from both, but for the parts of it that are conflicting
the current one from /proc will win over the one from disk.

Specifically this means that "systemctl status /home" will show in the
"What:" line what is currenty *actually* mounted on /home, and not
what /etc/fstab says that *should* be mounted there...
