<title>Description</title>
<para><filename>systemd-gpt-auto-generator</filename> is a unit generator that automatically discovers
the root partition, <filename>/home/</filename>, <filename>/srv/</filename>, <filename>/var/</filename>,
<filename>/var/tmp/</filename>, the EFI System Partition (ESP), the Extended Boot Loader Partition
(XBOOTLDR), 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 for more details. It implements the <ulink
url="https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/discoverable_partitions_specification">UAPI.2 Discoverable
Partitions Specification</ulink>.</para>
<para>Note that this generator has no effect on non-GPT systems. It will also not create mount point
configuration for directories which already contain files or if the mount point is explicitly configured
in <citerefentry
project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>fstab</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>. Additionally
no unit will be created for the ESP or the XBOOTLDR partition if mount entries are found in the
<filename>/boot/</filename> or <filename>/efi/</filename> hierarchies in <citerefentry
project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>fstab</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
<para>If the units this generator creates are overridden, for example by units in directories with higher
precedence, drop-ins and additional dependencies created by this generator might still be used.</para>
<para>When run in the initial RAM disk (initrd) this generator can automatically search for the root file
system. Specifically:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>It will look for the root partition on the same physical disk where the EFI System
Partition (ESP) is located. Note that support from the boot loader is required for this to work: 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 disk) the system was booted. If the boot loader does not set this variable, this
generator will not be able to detect the root partition. See the <ulink
url="https://systemd.io/BOOT_LOADER_INTERFACE">Boot Loader Interface</ulink> for
details.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Alternatively, it will look for the root file system on a loopback block device whose
<literal>.lo_name</literal> field is set to one of the literal strings <literal>rootdisk</literal> or
<literal>rootdisk.raw</literal>. This field can be set via <command>losetup</command>'s
<option>--loop-ref=</option> string. For images downloaded via
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-import-generator</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
make sure to set the <literal>blockdev</literal> option and set the local name string to
<literal>rootdisk</literal> to achieve this effect. Note that discovery of the root file system on
loopback block devices like this is only done if <literal>root=gpt-auto</literal> or
<literal>root=dissect</literal> is specified explicitly on the kernel command line, unlike the
discovery based on the boot loader reported ESP which is also enabled if no <literal>root=</literal>
parameter is specified at all. (The latter relies on <command>systemd-udevd.service</command>'s
<filename>/dev/gpt-auto-root</filename> block device symlink generation).</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</para>
<para>When run on the host system (i.e. after successfully transitioning out of the initrd into the root
filesystem) this generator will look for all other partitions on the same physical disk as the root
partition. For this discovery, boot loader support is not required. Moreover, it is not required that the
root partition was automatically discovered by the initrd (as described above) for the discovery of the
non-root file partitions to take place. Or in other words: automatic discovery of the root file system
and of the non-root file systems are independent operations, that do not rely on each other, and are done
during two distinct phases of the boot process (one in the initrd, the other after). 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>The root partition can be configured explicitly by symlinking
<filename>/run/systemd/volatile-root</filename> to <filename>/dev/block/$major:$minor</filename>. This is
especially useful if the root mount has been replaced by some form of volatile file system
(overlayfs).</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>,
<filename>/var/tmp/</filename> and swap 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>,
<filename>/dev/mapper/tmp</filename> or <filename>/dev/mapper/swap</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 with
LUKS 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>. For more information, see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>bootup</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
</para>
<para>Mount and automount units for the EFI System Partition (ESP) and Extended Boot Loader Partition
(XBOOTLDR) are generated on EFI systems. If the disk contains an XBOOTLDR partition, as defined in the
<ulink url="https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/boot_loader_specification">UAPI.1 Boot Loader
Specification</ulink>, it is made available at <filename>/boot/</filename>. This generator creates an
automount unit; the mount will only be activated on-demand when accessed. The mount point will be created
if necessary.</para>
<para>The ESP is mounted to <filename>/boot/</filename> if that directory exists and is not used for
XBOOTLDR, and otherwise to <filename>/efi/</filename>. Same as for <filename>/boot/</filename>, an
automount unit is used. The mount point will be created if necessary.</para>
<para>No configuration is created for mount points that are configured in <citerefentry
project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>fstab</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> or when
the target directory contains files.</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>
<para>If the system was booted via
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-stub</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> and the
stub reported to userspace that the kernel image was measured to a TPM2 PCR, then any discovered root and
<filename>/var/</filename> volume identifiers (and volume encryption key in case it is encrypted) will be
automatically measured into PCR 15 on activation, via

<listitem><para>When <varname>root=</varname> is used with the special value
<literal>gpt-auto</literal>, basic automatic discovery of the root partition based on the GPT
partition type is enabled. Use of the root partition is delayed until factory reset mode is left, in
case it is enabled during the current boot. See <ulink url="https://systemd.io/FACTORY_RESET">Factory
Reset</ulink> for more information on that. If <literal>gpt-auto-force</literal> is specified
automatic discovery of the root partition is enabled, ignoring any factory reset mode.</para>
<para>If <varname>root=</varname> is set to the special value <literal>dissect</literal> full
automatic discovery of the root partition based on GPT partition information is enabled. This is a
superset of <varname>root=gpt-auto</varname>, as it automatically configures Verity partitions
(including signature-based setup) following the logic defined for that in the <ulink
url="https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/discoverable_partitions_specification/">UAPI.2 Discoverable
Partitions Specification</ulink>. Moreover it takes the configured image policy and image filter into
account for all partition types, including the root file system. <literal>root=dissect</literal> will
wait for the factory reset phase to be completed if it is in effect before activating the root file
system. Use <literal>root=dissect-force</literal> to ignore the factory reset phase and activate the
root file system immediately.</para>
<para>Any other value (i.e. besides <literal>gpt-auto</literal>, <literal>gpt-auto-force</literal>,
<literal>dissect</literal>, <literal>dissect-force</literal>) disables automatic root file system
discovery.</para>
<para>If <varname>root=</varname> is not specified at all on the kernel command line automatic
discovery of the root partition via the ESP reported by the boot loader is also enabled (taking
factory reset state into account, i.e. equivalent to <literal>root=gpt-auto</literal>), however in
this case discovery based on the loopback block device <literal>.lo_name</literal> field is not
enabled.</para>
<para>The <varname>rootfstype=</varname> and <varname>rootflags=</varname> options are used to select
the file system type and options when the root file system is automatically discovered.</para>
