+    <title>Description</title>
+
+    <para><filename>systemd-gpt-auto-generator</filename> is a unit generator that automatically discovers
+    root, <filename>/home/</filename>, <filename>/srv/</filename>, <filename>/var/</filename>,
+    <filename>/var/tmp/</filename>, the EFI System Partition, the Extended Boot Loader Partition and swap
+    partitions and creates mount and swap units for them, based on the partition type GUIDs of GUID partition
+    tables (GPT), see <ulink url="https://uefi.org/specifications">UEFI Specification</ulink>, chapter 5. It
+    implements the <ulink url="https://systemd.io/DISCOVERABLE_PARTITIONS">Discoverable Partitions
+    Specification</ulink>. Note that this generator has no effect on non-GPT systems, and on specific mount
+    points that are directories already containing files. Also, on systems where the units are explicitly
+    configured (for example, listed in <citerefentry
+    project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>fstab</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>), the
+    units this generator creates are overridden, but additional implicit dependencies might be
+    created.</para>
+
+    <para>This generator will only look for the root partition on the same physical disk where the EFI System
+    Partition (ESP) is located. Note that support from the boot loader is required: the EFI variable
+    <varname>LoaderDevicePartUUID</varname> of the <constant>4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f</constant>
+    vendor UUID is used to determine from which partition, and hence the disk from which the system was
+    booted. If the boot loader does not set this variable, this generator will not be able to autodetect the
+    root partition. See the <ulink url="https://systemd.io/BOOT_LOADER_INTERFACE">Boot Loader
+    Interface</ulink> for details.</para>
+
+    <para>Similarly, this generator will only look for the other partitions on the same physical disk as the
+    root partition. In this case, boot loader support is not required. These partitions will not be searched
+    for on systems where the root file system is distributed on multiple disks, for example via btrfs RAID.
+    </para>
+
+    <para><filename>systemd-gpt-auto-generator</filename> is useful for centralizing file system
+    configuration in the partition table and making configuration in <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> or on
+    the kernel command line unnecessary.</para>
+
+    <para>This generator looks for the partitions based on their
+    partition type GUID. The following partition type GUIDs are
+    identified:</para>

+    <para>The <filename>/home/</filename>, <filename>/srv/</filename>, <filename>/var/</filename> and
+    <filename>/var/tmp/</filename> partitions may be encrypted in LUKS format. In this case, a device mapper
+    device is set up under the names <filename>/dev/mapper/home</filename>,
+    <filename>/dev/mapper/srv</filename>, <filename>/dev/mapper/var</filename> and
+    <filename>/dev/mapper/tmp</filename>. Note that this might create conflicts if the same partition is
+    listed in <filename>/etc/crypttab</filename> with a different device mapper device name.</para>
+
+    <para>When systemd is running in the initrd the <filename>/</filename> partition may be encrypted in LUKS
+      format as well. In this case, a device mapper device is set up under the name <filename>/dev/mapper/root</filename>,
+      and a <filename>sysroot.mount</filename> is set up that mounts the device under <filename>/sysroot</filename>.
+      For more information, see <citerefentry><refentrytitle>bootup</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>The root partition can be specified by symlinking <filename>/run/systemd/volatile-root</filename>
+    to <filename>/dev/block/$major:$minor</filename>. This is especially useful if the root mount has been
+    replaced by some form of volatile file system (overlayfs).
+    </para>
+
+    <para>Mount and automount units for the EFI System Partition (ESP) are generated on EFI systems. The ESP
+    is mounted to <filename>/boot/</filename> (except if an Extended Boot Loader partition exists, see
+    below), unless a mount point directory <filename>/efi/</filename> exists, in which case it is mounted
+    there. Since this generator creates an automount unit, the mount will only be activated on-demand, when
+    accessed. On systems where <filename>/boot/</filename> (or <filename>/efi/</filename> if it exists) is an
+    explicitly configured mount (for example, listed in <citerefentry
+    project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>fstab</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>) or where
+    the <filename>/boot/</filename> (or <filename>/efi/</filename>) mount point is non-empty, no mount units
+    are generated.</para>
+
+    <para>If the disk contains an Extended Boot Loader partition, as defined in the <ulink
+    url="https://systemd.io/BOOT_LOADER_SPECIFICATION">Boot Loader Specification</ulink>, it is made
+    available at <filename>/boot/</filename> (by means of an automount point, similar to the ESP, see
+    above). If both an EFI System Partition and an Extended Boot Loader partition exist the latter is
+    preferably mounted to <filename>/boot/</filename>. Make sure to create both <filename>/efi/</filename>
+    and <filename>/boot/</filename> to ensure both partitions are mounted.</para>
