+ <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>
