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> <para><filename>systemd-efi-boot-generator</filename> implements the <ulink url="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/Generators">generator specification</ulink>.</para> </refsect1> <refsect1> <title>See Also</title> <para> <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>, <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.mount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>, <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.automount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>, <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-gpt-auto-generator</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>, <citerefentry><refentrytitle>gummiboot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>, <citerefentry><refentrytitle>fstab</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> </para> </refsect1> </refentry>
