The page was written when systemd-repart was primarily intended to be used on a running system. But nowadays it's more often used to create images, so extend that part of the description. While at it, fix some whitespace issues and trim some overly complicated sentences.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><command>systemd-repart</command> creates partition tables, and adds or grows partitions,
|
|
based on the configuration files described in
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>repart.d</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><command>systemd-repart</command> is used when <emphasis>building</emphasis> OS images, and also
|
|
when <emphasis>deploying</emphasis> images to automatically adjust them, during boot, to the system they
|
|
are running on. This way the image can be minimal in size and may be augmented automatically at boot,
|
|
taking possession of the disk space available.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If invoked with no arguments, <command>systemd-repart</command> operates on the block device
|
|
backing the root file system partition of the running OS, thus adding and growing partitions of the
|
|
booted OS itself. When called in the initrd, it operates on the block device backing
|
|
<filename>/sysroot/</filename> instead, i.e. on the block device the system will soon transition into. If
|
|
<varname>--image=</varname> is used, it will operate on the specified device or image file. The
|
|
<filename>systemd-repart.service</filename> service is generally run at boot in the initrd, in order to
|
|
augment the partition table of the OS before its partitions are mounted.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><command>systemd-repart</command> operations are mostly incremental: it grows existing partitions
|
|
or adds new ones, but does not shrink, delete, or move existing partitions. The service is intended to be
|
|
run on every boot, but when it detects that the partition table already matches the installed
|
|
<filename>repart.d/*.conf</filename> configuration files, it executes no operation.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The following use cases are among those covered:</para>
|
|

<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem><para>The root partition may be grown to cover the whole available disk space.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>A <filename>/home/</filename>, swap, or <filename>/srv/</filename> partition can be

<listitem><para>A second (or third, …) root partition may be added, to cover A/B style setups

|
where a second version of the root file system is alternatingly used for implementing update

schemes. The deployed image would carry only a single partition ("A") but on first boot a second
|
|
partition ("B") for this purpose is automatically created.</para></listitem>
|

</itemizedlist>
|
|
|
|
<para>The algorithm executed by <command>systemd-repart</command> is roughly as follows:</para>
|

|
|
<orderedlist>
|
|
<listitem><para>The <filename>repart.d/*.conf</filename> configuration files are loaded and parsed, and
|
|
ordered by filename (without the directory prefix). For each configuration file, drop-in files are

loaded from directories with same name as the configuration file with the suffix ".d" added.
|

</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>The partition table on the block device is loaded and parsed, if present.

</para></listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem><para>The existing partitions in the partition table are matched with the
|
|
<filename>repart.d/*.conf</filename> files by GPT partition type UUID. The first existing partition of
|
|
a specific type is assigned the first configuration file declaring the same type. The second existing
|
|
partition of a specific type is then assigned the second configuration file declaring the same type,
|
|
and so on. After this iterative assigning is complete, any existing partitions that have no matching
|
|
configuration file are considered "foreign" and left as they are. And any configuration files for which
|
|
no partition was matched are treated as requests to create a partition.</para></listitem>
|

|
|
<listitem><para>Partitions that shall be created are now allocated on the disk, taking the size
|
|
constraints and weights declared in the configuration files into account. Free space is used within the
|
|
limits set by size and padding requests. In addition, existing partitions that should be grown are
|
|
grown. New partitions are always appended to the end of the partition table, taking the first partition
|
|
table slot whose index is greater than the indexes of all existing partitions. Partitions are never
|
|
reordered and thus partition numbers remain stable. When partitions are created, they are placed in the
|
|
smallest area of free space that is large enough to satisfy the size and padding limits. This means
|
|
that partitions might have different order on disk than in the partition table. Note that this
|
|
allocation happens in memory only, the partition table on disk is not updated yet.</para></listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem><para>All existing partitions for which configuration files exist and which currently have no

GPT partition label set will be assigned a label, either explicitly configured in the configuration or
|

— if that's missing — derived automatically from the partition type. The same is done for all

partitions that are newly created. These assignments are done in memory only, too, the disk is not

updated yet.</para></listitem>
|

<listitem><para>Similarly, all existing partitions for which configuration files exist and which

currently have an all-zero identifying UUID will be assigned a new UUID. This UUID is cryptographically

hashed from a common seed value together with the partition type UUID (and a counter in case multiple
|

partitions of the same type are defined), see below. The same is done for all partitions that are

created anew. These assignments are done in memory only, too, the disk is not updated yet.

<listitem><para>The disk space assigned to new partitions (i.e. what was previously free space) is now

|
|
|
<para>As an exception to the normal incremental operation, when called in a special "factory reset" mode,
|
|
<command>systemd-repart</command> may be used to erase existing partitions to reset an installation back
|
|
to vendor defaults. This mode of operation is used when either the <option>--factory-reset=yes</option>
|
|
switch is passed on the tool's command line, or the <option>systemd.factory_reset=yes</option> option is
|
|
specified on the kernel command line, or the <varname>FactoryReset</varname> EFI variable (vendor UUID
|
|
<constant>8cf2644b-4b0b-428f-9387-6d876050dc67</constant>) is set to "yes". It alters the algorithm above
|
|
slightly: between the 3rd and the 4th step above any partition marked explicitly via the
|
|
<varname>FactoryReset=</varname> boolean is deleted, and the algorithm restarted, thus immediately
|
|
re-creating these partitions anew empty.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that <command>systemd-repart</command> by default only changes partition tables, it does not
|
|
create or resize any file systems within these partitions, unless the <varname>Format=</varname>
|
|
configuration option is specified. Also note that there are also separate mechanisms available for this
|
|
purpose, for example
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-growfs</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> and
|
|
<command>systemd-makefs</command>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The UUIDs identifying the new partitions created (or assigned to existing partitions that have no
|
|
UUID yet), as well as the disk as a whole are hashed cryptographically from a common seed value. This
|
|
seed value is usually the
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>machine-id</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> of the
|
|
system, so that the machine ID reproducibly determines the UUIDs assigned to all partitions. If the
|
|
machine ID cannot be read (or the user passes <option>--seed=random</option>, see below) the seed is
|
|
generated randomly instead, so that the partition UUIDs are also effectively random. The seed value may
|
|
also be set explicitly, formatted as UUID via the <option>--seed=</option> option. By hashing these UUIDs
|
|
from a common seed images prepared with this tool become reproducible and the result of the algorithm
|
|
above deterministic.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The positional argument should specify the block device or a regular file to operate on. If
|
|
<option>--empty=create</option> is specified, the specified path is created as regular file, which is
|
|
useful for generating disk images from scratch.</para>

<para>The <option>--size=auto</option> option takes the sizes of pre-existing partitions into
