If -\fI\-\-image=\fR -is used it will operate on the specified image file\&. When called in the initrd it operates on the block device backing -/sysroot/ -instead, i\&.e\&. on the block device the system will soon transition into\&. The -systemd\-repart\&.service -service is generally run at boot in the initrd, in order to augment the partition table of the OS before its partitions are mounted\&. -\fBsystemd\-repart\fR -(mostly) operates in a purely incremental mode: it only grows existing and adds new partitions; it does not shrink, delete or move existing partitions\&. The service is intended to be run on every boot, but when it detects that the partition table already matches the installed -repart\&.d/*\&.conf -configuration files, it executes no operation\&. -.PP -\fBsystemd\-repart\fR -is intended to be used when deploying OS images, to automatically adjust them to the system they are running on, during first boot\&. This way the deployed image can be minimal in size and may be augmented automatically at boot when needed, taking possession of disk space available but not yet used\&. Specifically the following use cases are among those covered: -.sp -.RS 4 -.ie n \{\ -\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c -.\} -.el \{\ -.sp -1 -.IP \(bu 2.3 -.\} -The root partition may be grown to cover the whole available disk space\&. -.RE -.sp -.RS 4 -.ie n \{\ -\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c -.\} -.el \{\ -.sp -1 -.IP \(bu 2.3 -.\} -A -/home/, swap or -/srv/ -partition can be added\&. -.RE -.sp -.RS 4 -.ie n \{\ -\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c -.\} -.el \{\ -.sp -1 -.IP \(bu 2.3 -.\} -A second (or third, \&...) root partition may be added, to cover A/B style setups where a second version of the root file system is alternatingly used for implementing update schemes\&. The deployed image would carry only a single partition ("A") but on first boot a second partition ("B") for this purpose is automatically created\&. -.RE -.PP -The algorithm executed by -\fBsystemd\-repart\fR -is roughly as follows: -.sp -.RS 4 -.ie n \{\ -\h'-04' 1.\h'+01'\c -.\} -.el \{\ -.sp -1 -.IP " 1." 4.2 -.\} -The -repart\&.d/*\&.conf -configuration files are loaded and parsed, and ordered by filename (without the directory prefix)\&.

The first existing partition of a specific type is assigned the first configuration file declaring the same type\&. The second existing partition of a specific type is then assigned the second configuration file declaring the same type, and so on\&. After this iterative assigning is complete any left\-over existing partitions that have no matching configuration file are considered "foreign" and left as they are\&. And any configuration files for which no partition currently exists are understood as a request to create such a partition\&. -.RE -.sp -.RS 4 -.ie n \{\ -\h'-04' 4.\h'+01'\c -.\} -.el \{\ -.sp -1 -.IP " 4." 4.2 -.\} -Partitions that shall be created are now allocated on the disk, taking the size constraints and weights declared in the configuration files into account\&. Free space is used within the limits set by size and padding requests\&. In addition, existing partitions that should be grown are grown\&. New partitions are always appended to the end of the partition table, taking the first partition table slot whose index is greater than the indexes of all existing partitions\&. Partitions are never reordered and thus partition numbers remain stable\&. When partitions are created, they are placed in the smallest area of free space that is large enough to satisfy the size and padding limits\&. This means that partitions might have different order on disk than in the partition table\&. Note that this allocation happens in memory only, the partition table on disk is not updated yet\&. -.RE -.sp -.RS 4 -.ie n \{\ -\h'-04' 5.\h'+01'\c -.\} -.el \{\ -.sp -1 -.IP " 5." 4.2 -.\} -All existing partitions for which configuration files exist and which currently have no GPT partition label set will be assigned a label, either explicitly configured in the configuration or \(em if that\*(Aqs missing \(em derived automatically from the partition type\&.

In addition any "padding" between partitions and at the end of the device is similarly erased\&. -.RE -.sp -.RS 4 -.ie n \{\ -\h'-04' 9.\h'+01'\c -.\} -.el \{\ -.sp -1 -.IP " 9." 4.2 -.\} -The new partition table is finally written to disk\&. The kernel is asked to reread the partition table\&. -.RE -.PP -As exception to the normally strictly incremental operation, when called in a special "factory reset" mode, -\fBsystemd\-repart\fR -may also be used to erase existing partitions to reset an installation back to vendor defaults\&. This mode of operation is used when either the -\fB\-\-factory\-reset=yes\fR -switch is passed on the tool\*(Aqs command line, or the -\fBsystemd\&.factory_reset=yes\fR -option specified on the kernel command line, or the -\fIFactoryReset\fR -EFI variable (vendor UUID -\fB8cf2644b\-4b0b\-428f\-9387\-6d876050dc67\fR) is set to "yes"\&. It alters the algorithm above slightly: between the 3rd and the 4th step above any partition marked explicitly via the -\fIFactoryReset=\fR -boolean is deleted, and the algorithm restarted, thus immediately re\-creating these partitions anew empty\&. -.PP -Note that -\fBsystemd\-repart\fR -only changes partition tables, it does not create or resize any file systems within these partitions\&. A separate mechanism should be used for that, for example -\fBsystemd-growfs\fR(8) -and -\fBsystemd\-makefs\fR\&. -.PP -The UUIDs identifying the new partitions created (or assigned to existing partitions that have no UUID yet), as well as the disk as a whole are hashed cryptographically from a common seed value\&. This seed value is usually the -\fBmachine-id\fR(5) -of the system, so that the machine ID reproducibly determines the UUIDs assigned to all partitions\&. If the machine ID cannot be read (or the user passes -\fB\-\-seed=random\fR, see below) the seed is generated randomly instead, so that the partition UUIDs are also effectively random\&. The seed value may also be set explicitly, formatted as UUID via the -\fB\-\-seed=\fR -option\&. By hashing these UUIDs from a common seed images prepared with this tool become reproducible and the result of the algorithm above deterministic\&. -.PP -The positional argument should specify the block device to operate on\&. Instead of a block device node path a regular file may be specified too, in which case the command operates on it like it would if a loopback block device node was specified with the file attached\&. If -\fB\-\-empty=create\fR -is specified the specified path is created as regular file, which is useful for generating disk images from scratch\&. -.SH "OPTIONS" -.PP -The following options are understood: -.PP -\fB\-\-dry\-run=\fR -.RS 4 -Takes a boolean\&. If this switch is not specified -\fB\-\-dry\-run=yes\fR -is the implied default\&. Controls whether -systemd\-repart -executes the requested re\-partition operations or whether it should only show what it would do\&. Unless -\fB\-\-dry\-run=no\fR -is specified -systemd\-repart -will not actually touch the device\*(Aqs partition table\&. -.RE -.PP -\fB\-\-empty=\fR -.RS 4 -Takes one of -"refuse", -"allow", -"require", -"force" -or -"create"\&. Controls how to operate on block devices that are entirely empty, i\&.e\&. carry no partition table/disk label yet\&. If this switch is not specified the implied default is -"refuse"\&. -.sp -If -"refuse" -\fBsystemd\-repart\fR -requires that the block device it shall operate on already carries a partition table and refuses operation if none is found\&. If -"allow" -the command will extend an existing partition table or create a new one if none exists\&. If -"require" -the command will create a new partition table if none exists so far, and refuse operation if one already exists\&. If -"force" -it will create a fresh partition table unconditionally, erasing the disk fully in effect\&. If -"force" -no existing partitions will be taken into account or survive the operation\&. Hence: use with care, this is a great way to lose all your data\&. If -"create" -a new loopback file is create under the path passed via the device node parameter, of the size indicated with -\fB\-\-size=\fR, see below\&. -.RE -.PP -\fB\-\-discard=\fR -.RS 4 -Takes a boolean\&. If this switch is not specified -\fB\-\-discard=yes\fR -is the implied default\&. Controls whether to issue the -\fBBLKDISCARD\fR -I/O control command on the space taken up by any added partitions or on the space in between them\&. Usually, it\*(Aqs a good idea to issue this request since it tells the underlying hardware that the covered blocks shall be considered empty, improving performance\&. If operating on a regular file instead of a block device node, a sparse file is generated\&. -.RE -.PP -\fB\-\-size=\fR -.RS 4 -Takes a size in bytes, using the usual K, M, G, T suffixes, or the special value -"auto"\&. If used the specified device node path must refer to a regular file, which is then grown to the specified size if smaller, before any change is made to the partition table\&. If specified as -"auto" -the minimal size for the disk image is automatically determined (i\&.e\&. the minimal sizes of all partitions are summed up, taking space for additional metadata into account)\&. This switch is not supported if the specified node is a block device\&. This switch has no effect if the file is already as large as the specified size or larger\&. The specified size is implicitly rounded up to multiples of 4096\&. When used with -\fB\-\-empty=create\fR -this specifies the initial size of the loopback file to create\&. -.sp -The -\fB\-\-size=auto\fR -option takes the sizes of pre\-existing partitions into account\&. However, it does not accommodate for partition tables that are not tightly packed: the configured partitions might still not fit into the backing device if empty space exists between pre\-existing partitions (or before the first partition) that cannot be fully filled by partitions to grow or create\&. -.sp -Also note that the automatic size determination does not take files or directories specified with -\fBCopyFiles=\fR -into account: operation might fail if the specified files or directories require more disk space then the configured per\-partition minimal size limit\&. -.RE -.PP -\fB\-\-factory\-reset=\fR -.RS 4 -Takes boolean\&. If this switch is not specified -\fB\-\-factory=reset=no\fR -is the implied default\&. Controls whether to operate in "factory reset" mode, see above\&. If set to true this will remove all existing partitions marked with -\fIFactoryReset=\fR -set to yes early while executing the re\-partitioning algorithm\&. Use with care, this is a great way to lose all your data\&. Note that partition files need to explicitly turn -\fIFactoryReset=\fR -on, as the option defaults to off\&. If no partitions are marked for factory reset this switch has no effect\&. Note that there are two other methods to request factory reset operation: via the kernel command line and via an EFI variable, see above\&. -.RE -.PP -\fB\-\-can\-factory\-reset\fR -.RS 4 -If this switch is specified the disk is not re\-partitioned\&. Instead it is determined if any existing partitions are marked with -\fIFactoryReset=\fR\&. If there are the tool will exit with exit status zero, otherwise non\-zero\&. This switch may be used to quickly determine whether the running system supports a factory reset mechanism built on -\fBsystemd\-repart\fR\&. -.RE -.PP -\fB\-\-root=\fR -.RS 4 -Takes a path to a directory to use as root file system when searching for -repart\&.d/*\&.conf -files, for the machine ID file to use as seed and for the -\fICopyFiles=\fR -and -\fICopyBlocks=\fR -source files and directories\&. By default when invoked on the regular system this defaults to the host\*(Aqs root file system -/\&. If invoked from the initrd this defaults to -/sysroot/, so that the tool operates on the configuration and machine ID stored in the root file system later transitioned into itself\&. -.RE -.PP -\fB\-\-image=\fR -.RS 4 -Takes a path to a disk image file or device to mount and use in a similar fashion to -\fB\-\-root=\fR, see above\&. -.RE -.PP -\fB\-\-image\-policy=\fR\fB\fIpolicy\fR\fR -.RS 4 -Takes an image policy string as argument, as per -\fBsystemd.image-policy\fR(7)\&. The policy is enforced when operating on the disk image specified via -\fB\-\-image=\fR, see above\&. If not specified defaults to the -"*" -policy, i\&.e\&. all recognized file systems in the image are used\&. -.RE -.PP -\fB\-\-seed=\fR -.RS 4 -Takes a UUID as argument or the special value -\fBrandom\fR\&. If a UUID is specified the UUIDs to assign to partitions and the partition table itself are derived via cryptographic hashing from it\&. If not specified it is attempted to read the machine ID from the host (or more precisely, the root directory configured via -\fB\-\-root=\fR) and use it as seed instead, falling back to a randomized seed otherwise\&. Use -\fB\-\-seed=random\fR -to force a randomized seed\&. Explicitly specifying the seed may be used to generated strictly reproducible partition tables\&. -.RE -.PP -\fB\-\-pretty=\fR -.RS 4 -Takes a boolean argument\&. If this switch is not specified, it defaults to on when called from an interactive terminal and off otherwise\&. Controls whether to show a user friendly table and graphic illustrating the changes applied\&. -.RE -.PP -\fB\-\-definitions=\fR -.RS 4 -Takes a file system path\&. If specified the -*\&.conf -files are read from the specified directory instead of searching in -/usr/lib/repart\&.d/*\&.conf, -/etc/repart\&.d/*\&.conf, -/run/repart\&.d/*\&.conf\&. -.sp -This parameter can be specified multiple times\&. -.RE -.PP -\fB\-\-key\-file=\fR -.RS 4 -Takes a file system path\&. Configures the encryption key to use when setting up LUKS2 volumes configured with the -\fIEncrypt=key\-file\fR -setting in partition files\&. Should refer to a regular file containing the key, or an -\fBAF_UNIX\fR -stream socket in the file system\&. In the latter case a connection is made to it and the key read from it\&. If this switch is not specified the empty key (i\&.e\&. zero length key) is used\&. This behaviour is useful for setting up encrypted partitions during early first boot that receive their user\-supplied password only in a later setup step\&. -.RE -.PP -\fB\-\-private\-key=\fR -.RS 4 -Takes a file system path\&. Configures the signing key to use when creating verity signature partitions with the -\fIVerity=signature\fR -setting in partition files\&. -.RE -.PP -\fB\-\-certificate=\fR -.RS 4 -Takes a file system path\&. Configures the PEM encoded X\&.509 certificate to use when creating verity signature partitions with the -\fIVerity=signature\fR -setting in partition files\&. -.RE -.PP -\fB\-\-tpm2\-device=\fR, \fB\-\-tpm2\-pcrs=\fR -.RS 4 -Configures the TPM2 device and list of PCRs to use for LUKS2 volumes configured with the -\fIEncrypt=tpm2\fR -option\&. These options take the same parameters as the identically named options to -\fBsystemd-cryptenroll\fR(1) -and have the same effect on partitions where TPM2 enrollment is requested\&. -.RE -.PP -\fB\-\-tpm2\-public\-key=\fR [PATH], \fB\-\-tpm2\-public\-key\-pcrs=\fR [PCR...] -.RS 4 -Configures a TPM2 signed PCR policy to bind encryption to\&. See -\fBsystemd-cryptenroll\fR(1) -for details on these two options\&. -.RE -.PP -\fB\-\-split=\fR [BOOL] -.RS 4 -Enables generation of split artifacts from partitions configured with -\fISplitName=\fR\&. If enabled, for each partition with -\fISplitName=\fR -set, a separate output file containing just the contents of that partition is generated\&. The output filename consists of the loopback filename suffixed with the name configured with -\fISplitName=\fR\&. If the loopback filename ends with -"\&.raw", the suffix is inserted before the -"\&.raw" -extension instead\&. -.sp -Note that -\fB\-\-split\fR -is independent from -\fB\-\-dry\-run\fR\&. Even if -\fB\-\-dry\-run\fR -is enabled, split artifacts will still be generated from an existing image if -\fB\-\-split\fR -is enabled\&. -.RE -.PP -\fB\-\-include\-partitions=\fR [PARTITION...], \fB\-\-exclude\-partitions=\fR [PARTITION...] -.RS 4 -These options specify which partition types -\fBsystemd\-repart\fR -should operate on\&. If -\fB\-\-include\-partitions=\fR -is used, all partitions that aren\*(Aqt specified are excluded\&. If -\fB\-\-exclude\-partitions=\fR -is used, all partitions that are specified are excluded\&. Both options take a comma separated list of GPT partition type UUIDs or identifiers (see -\fIType=\fR -in -\fBrepart.d\fR(5))\&. -.RE -.PP -\fB\-\-defer\-partitions=\fR [PARTITION...] -.RS 4 -This option specifies for which partition types -\fBsystemd\-repart\fR -should defer\&. All partitions that are deferred using this option are still taken into account when calculating the sizes and offsets of other partitions, but aren\*(Aqt actually written to the disk image\&. The net effect of this option is that if you run -\fBsystemd\-repart\fR -again without this option, the missing partitions will be added as if they had not been deferred the first time -\fBsystemd\-repart\fR -was executed\&. -.RE -.PP -\fB\-\-sector\-size=\fR [BYTES] -.RS 4 -This option allows configuring the sector size of the image produced by -\fBsystemd\-repart\fR\&. It takes a value that is a power of -"2" -between -"512" -and -"4096"\&. This option is useful when building images for disks that use a different sector size as the disk on which the image is produced\&. -.RE -.PP -\fB\-\-architecture=\fR [ARCH] -.RS 4 -This option allows overriding the architecture used for architecture specific partition types\&. For example, if set to -"arm64" -a partition type of -"root\-x86\-64" -referenced in -repart\&.d/ -drop\-ins will be patched dynamically to refer to -"root\-arm64" -instead\&. Takes one of -"alpha", -"arc", -"arm", -"arm64", -"ia64", -"loongarch64", -"mips\-le", -"mips64\-le", -"parisc", -"ppc", -"ppc64", -"ppc64\-le", -"riscv32", -"riscv64", -"s390", -"s390x", -"tilegx", -"x86" -or -"x86\-64"\&. -.RE -.PP -\fB\-\-offline=\fR [BOOL] -.RS 4 -Instructs -\fBsystemd\-repart\fR -to build the image offline\&. Takes a boolean or -"auto"\&. Defaults to -"auto"\&. If enabled, the image is built without using loop devices\&. This is useful to build images unprivileged or when loop devices are not available\&. If disabled, the image is always built using loop devices\&. If -"auto", -\fBsystemd\-repart\fR -will build the image online if possible and fall back to building the image offline if loop devices are not available or cannot be accessed due to missing permissions\&. -.RE -.PP -\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR -.RS 4 -Print a short help text and exit\&. -.RE -.PP -\fB\-\-version\fR -.RS 4 -Print a short version string and exit\&. -.RE -.PP -\fB\-\-no\-pager\fR -.RS 4 -Do not pipe output into a pager\&. -.RE -.PP -\fB\-\-no\-legend\fR -.RS 4 -Do not print the legend, i\&.e\&. column headers and the footer with hints\&. -.RE -.PP -\fB\-\-json=\fR\fIMODE\fR -.RS 4 -Shows output formatted as JSON\&.
