<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><filename>systemd-gpt-auto-generator</filename> is a unit generator that automatically discovers
|
|
root, <filename>/home/</filename>, <filename>/srv/</filename>, <filename>/var/</filename>,
|
|
<filename>/var/tmp/</filename>, the EFI System Partition, the Extended Boot Loader Partition and swap
|
|
partitions and creates mount and swap units for them, based on the partition type GUIDs of GUID partition
|
|
tables (GPT), see <ulink url="https://uefi.org/specifications">UEFI Specification</ulink>, chapter 5. It
|
|
implements the <ulink url="https://systemd.io/DISCOVERABLE_PARTITIONS">Discoverable Partitions
|
|
Specification</ulink>. Note that this generator has no effect on non-GPT systems, and on specific mount
|
|
points that are directories already containing files. Also, on systems where the units are explicitly
|
|
configured (for example, listed in <citerefentry
|
|
project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>fstab</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>), the
|
|
units this generator creates are overridden, but additional implicit dependencies might be
|
|
created.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This generator will only look for the root partition on the same physical disk the EFI System
|
|
Partition (ESP) is located on. Note that support from the boot loader is required: the EFI variable
|
|
<varname>LoaderDevicePartUUID</varname> of the <constant>4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f</constant>
|
|
vendor UUID is used to determine from which partition, and hence the disk from which the system was
|
|
booted. If the boot loader does not set this variable, this generator will not be able to autodetect the
|
|
root partition. See the <ulink url="https://systemd.io/BOOT_LOADER_INTERFACE">Boot Loader
|
|
Interface</ulink> for details.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Similarly, this generator will only look for the other partitions on the same physical disk as the
|
|
root partition. In this case, boot loader support is not required. These partitions will not be searched
|
|
for on systems where the root file system is distributed on multiple disks, for example via btrfs RAID.
|
|
</para>

|
<para><filename>systemd-gpt-auto-generator</filename> is useful for centralizing file system
|
|
configuration in the partition table and making configuration in <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> or on
|
|
the kernel command line unnecessary.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This generator looks for the partitions based on their
|
|
partition type GUID. The following partition type GUIDs are
|
|
identified:</para>

<para>The <filename>/home/</filename>, <filename>/srv/</filename>, <filename>/var/</filename> and
|
|
<filename>/var/tmp/</filename> partitions may be encrypted in LUKS format. In this case, a device mapper
|
|
device is set up under the names <filename>/dev/mapper/home</filename>,
|
|
<filename>/dev/mapper/srv</filename>, <filename>/dev/mapper/var</filename> and
|
|
<filename>/dev/mapper/tmp</filename>. Note that this might create conflicts if the same partition is
|
|
listed in <filename>/etc/crypttab</filename> with a different device mapper device name.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>When systemd is running in the initrd the <filename>/</filename> partition may be encrypted in LUKS
|
|
format as well. In this case, a device mapper device is set up under the name <filename>/dev/mapper/root</filename>,
|
|
and a <filename>sysroot.mount</filename> is set up that mounts the device under <filename>/sysroot</filename>.

<para>Mount and automount units for the EFI System Partition (ESP) are generated on EFI systems. The ESP
|
|
is mounted to <filename>/boot/</filename> (except if an Extended Boot Loader partition exists, see
|
|
below), unless a mount point directory <filename>/efi/</filename> exists, in which case it is mounted
|
|
there. Since this generator creates an automount unit, the mount will only be activated on-demand, when
|
|
accessed. On systems where <filename>/boot/</filename> (or <filename>/efi/</filename> if it exists) is an
|
|
explicitly configured mount (for example, listed in <citerefentry
|
|
project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>fstab</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>) or where
|
|
the <filename>/boot/</filename> (or <filename>/efi/</filename>) mount point is non-empty, no mount units
|
|
are generated.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If the disk contains an Extended Boot Loader partition, as defined in the <ulink
|
|
url="https://systemd.io/BOOT_LOADER_SPECIFICATION">Boot Loader Specification</ulink>, it is made
|
|
available at <filename>/boot/</filename> (by means of an automount point, similar to the ESP, see
|
|
above). If both an EFI System Partition and an Extended Boot Loader partition exist the latter is
|
|
preferably mounted to <filename>/boot/</filename>. Make sure to create both <filename>/efi/</filename>
|
|
and <filename>/boot/</filename> to ensure both partitions are mounted.</para>
