SYSTEMD-GPT-AUTO-GENERATOR(8) systemd-gpt-auto-generator SYSTEMD-GPT-AUTO-GENERATOR(8)
NAME
systemd-gpt-auto-generator - Generator for automatically discovering and mounting root,
/home and /srv partitions, as well as discovering and enabling swap partitions, based on
GPT partition type GUIDs.
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-gpt-auto-generator
DESCRIPTION
systemd-gpt-auto-generator is a unit generator that automatically discovers root, /home,
/srv 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 Discoverable Partitions
Specification[1]. Note that this generator has no effect on non-GPT systems, on systems
where the units are explicitly configured (for example, listed in fstab(5)), or where the
mount points are non-empty.
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.
systemd-gpt-auto-generator is useful for centralizing file system configuration in the
partition table and making manual configuration in /etc/fstab or suchlike unnecessary.
This generator looks for the partitions based on their partition type GUID. The following
partition type GUIDs are identified:

|44479540-f297-41b2-9af7-d131d5f0458a | Root Partition (x86) | On 32-bit x86 systems, |

|933ac7e1-2eb4-4f13-b844-0e14e2aef915 | Home Partition | The first home partition |

|3b8f8425-20e0-4f3b-907f-1a25a76f98e8 | Server Data Partition | The first server data |
| | | partition on the disk |
| | | the root partition is |
| | | located on is mounted to |
| | | /srv. |
+-------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------------------------+
|0657fd6d-a4ab-43c4-84e5-0933c84b4f4f | Swap | All swap partitions |
| | | located on the disk the |
| | | root partition is |
| | | located on are enabled. |
+-------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------------------------+
The /home and /srv partitions may be encrypted in LUKS format. In this case a device
mapper device is set up under the names /dev/mapper/home and /dev/mapper/srv. Note that
this might create conflicts if the same partition is listed in /etc/crypttab with a
different device mapper device name.
Also note that systemd-efi-boot-generator(8) will mount the EFI System Partition (ESP) to
/boot if not otherwise mounted.
When using this generator in conjunction with btrfs file systems, make sure to set the
correct default subvolumes on them, using btrfs subvolume set-default.
systemd-gpt-auto-generator implements systemd.generator(7).
