+
+ <para><filename>systemd-veritysetup-generator</filename> is a generator that translates kernel command line options
+ configuring verity protected block devices into native systemd units early at boot and when
+ configuration of the system manager is reloaded. This will create
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-veritysetup@.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ units as necessary.</para>
+
+ <para>Currently, only two verity devices may be set up with this generator, backing the root and <filename>/usr</filename> file systems of the

+ partition device is looked for under a GPT partition UUID derived from the last 128bit of the root hash. Hence
