<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><filename>systemd-gpt-auto-generator</filename> is a unit
|
|
generator that automatically discovers root,
|
|
<filename>/home</filename>, <filename>/srv</filename> and swap
|
|
partitions and creates mount and swap units for them, based on the
|
|
partition type GUIDs of GUID partition tables (GPT). It implements
|
|
the <ulink
|
|
url="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/DiscoverablePartitionsSpec/">Discoverable
|
|
Partitions Specification</ulink>. Note that this generator has no
|
|
effect on non-GPT systems, or where the directories under the
|
|
mount points are already non-empty. 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 root partitions on the
|
|
same physical disk the EFI System Partition (ESP) is located on.
|
|
It will only look for the other partitions on the same physical
|
|
disk the root file system is located on. These partitions will not
|
|
be searched 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 manual configuration in <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>
|
|
or suchlike 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> and <filename>/srv</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> and
|
|
<filename>/dev/mapper/srv</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>Mount and automount units for the EFI System Partition (ESP) are generated on EFI systems. The ESP is mounted
|
|
to <filename>/boot</filename>, 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>When using this generator in conjunction with btrfs file

systems, make sure to set the correct default subvolumes on them,

using <command>btrfs subvolume set-default</command>.</para>
