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:

       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).
