<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><filename>repart.d/*.conf</filename> files describe basic properties of partitions of block
|
|
devices of the local system. They may be used to declare types, names and sizes of partitions that shall
|
|
exist. The
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-repart</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
service reads these files and attempts to add new partitions currently missing and enlarge existing
|
|
partitions according to these definitions. Operation is generally incremental, i.e. when applied, what
|
|
exists already is left intact, and partitions are never shrunk, moved or deleted.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>These definition files are useful for implementing operating system images that are prepared and
|
|
delivered with minimally sized images (for example lacking any state or swap partitions), and which on
|
|
first boot automatically take possession of any remaining disk space following a few basic rules.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Currently, support for partition definition files is only implemented for GPT partitition
|
|
tables.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Partition files are generally matched against any partitions already existing on disk in a simple
|
|
algorithm: the partition files are sorted by their filename (ignoring the directory prefix), and then
|
|
compared in order against existing partitions matching the same partition type UUID. Specifically, the
|
|
first existing partition with a specific partition type UUID is assigned the first definition file with
|
|
the same partition type UUID, and the second existing partition with a specific type UUID the second
|
|
partition file with the same type UUID, and so on. Any left-over partition files that have no matching
|
|
existing partition are assumed to define new partition that shall be created. Such partitions are
|
|
appended to the end of the partition table, in the order defined by their names utilizing the first
|
|
partition slot greater than the highest slot number currently in use. Any existing partitions that have
|
|
no matching partition file are left as they are.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that these partition definition files do not describe the contents of the partitions, such as
|
|
the file system used. Separate mechanisms, such as
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-growfs</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> and
|
|
<command>systemd-makefs</command> maybe be used to initialize or grow the file systems inside of these
|
|
partitions.</para>

previous size of the partition (in case the partition already exists) is also enforced as lower bound
