The "bg" option tells mount.nfs to fork and continue in the background. systemd doesn't like mount programs doing this. Systemd would rather do the job management itself. So when systemd-fstab-generator sees "bg" it adds x-systemd.mount-timeout=infinity,retry=10000 to the start, and fg to the end. The timeouts cause systemd to impose the same timeouts as mount.nfs would normally assume, the "fg" at the end causes mount.nfs to ignore the "bg" (last option wins).
