+ 'used the partition UUID of the root partition should be the first 128 bits of the root hash '

+ 'The ESP used for the current boot is automatically mounted to `/efi/` (or `/boot/` as '
+ 'fallback), unless a different partition is mounted there (possibly via `/etc/fstab`, or '
+ 'because the Extended Boot Loader Partition — see below — exists) or the directory is '
+ 'non-empty on the root disk. This partition type is defined by the '
+ '[UEFI Specification](http://www.uefi.org/specifications).'),
+ 'XBOOTLDR': (
+ 'Typically VFAT',
+ 'The Extended Boot Loader Partition (XBOOTLDR) used for the current boot is automatically '
+ 'mounted to `/boot/`, unless a different partition is mounted there (possibly via '

+ '[`/etc/machine-id`](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/machine-id.html). '
+ 'This special requirement is made because `/var/` (unlike the other partition types '

+ 'shared between multiple OS installations on the same disk, and thus should be bound to '
+ 'a specific instance of the OS, identified by its machine ID. If the partition is '

+ 'Any native, optionally in LUKS',
+ 'The first partition with this type UUID on the disk containing the root partition is '
+ 'automatically mounted to `/var/tmp/`. If the partition is encrypted with LUKS, the '
+ 'device mapper file will be named `/dev/mapper/tmp`. Note that the intended mount point '
+ 'is indeed `/var/tmp/`, not `/tmp/`. The latter is typically maintained in memory via '
+ '`tmpfs` and does not require a partition on disk. In some cases it might be '
+ 'desirable to make `/tmp/` persistent too, in which case it is recommended to make it '
+ 'a symlink or bind mount to `/var/tmp/`, thus not requiring its own partition type UUID.'),
+ 'USER_HOME': (

+ 'to mount them explicitly via entries in `/etc/fstab`. Optionally, these partitions may '
+ 'be encrypted with LUKS. This partition type predates the Discoverable Partitions Specification.'),
