+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><filename>systemd-gpt-auto-generator</filename>
+ is a generator that automatically discovers
+ <filename>/home</filename> and swap partitions and
+ creates mount and swap units for them, based on the
+ the partition type GUIDs of GUID partition tables
+ (GPT). Note that this generator will execute no
+ operation on non-GPT systems, on systems where the
+ units are explicitly configured (for example, listed
+ in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>fstab</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>)
+ or where the mount point is non-empty.</para>
+
+ <para>This generator will only look for partitions on
+ the same physical disk the root file system is stored
+ on. This generator has no effect on systems where the
+ root file system is distributed on multiple disks, for
+ example via btrfs RAID.</para>
+
+ <para>This generator 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><filename>systemd-gpt-auto-generator</filename>
+ implements the <ulink

+ specification</ulink>.</para>
