<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>This generator looks for swap partitions using
GPT type 0657fd6d-a4ab-43c4-84e50933c84b4f4f. It looks
for <filename>/home</filename> partitions using GPT
type 933ac7e1-2eb4-4f13-b8440e14e2aef915.</para>
<para><filename>systemd-gpt-auto-generator</filename>
