<title>Description</title>
<para><filename>systemd-efi-boot-generator</filename>
is a generator that automatically creates mount and
automount units for the EFI System Partition (ESP),
mounting it to <filename>/boot</filename>. Note that
this generator will execute no operation on non-EFI
systems, on systems where the boot loader does not
communicate the used ESP to the OS, on systems where
<filename>/boot</filename> is an explicitly configured
mount (for example, listed in <citerefentry><refentrytitle>fstab</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>) or where the <filename>/boot</filename> mount
point is non-empty. Since this generator creates an
automount unit, the mount will only be activated
on-demand, when accessed.</para>
