NAME

       repart.d - Partition Definition Files for Automatic Boot-Time Repartitioning

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/repart.d/*.conf
       /run/repart.d/*.conf
       /usr/lib/repart.d/*.conf

DESCRIPTION

       repart.d/*.conf files describe basic properties of partitions of block devices of the
       local system. They may be used to declare types, names and sizes of partitions that shall
       exist. The systemd-repart(8) service reads these files and attempts to add new partitions
       currently missing and enlarge existing partitions according to these definitions.
       Operation is generally incremental, i.e. when applied, what exists already is left intact,
       and partitions are never shrunk, moved or deleted.

       These definition files are useful for implementing operating system images that are
       prepared and delivered with minimally sized images (for example lacking any state or swap
       partitions), and which on first boot automatically take possession of any remaining disk
       space following a few basic rules.

       Currently, support for partition definition files is only implemented for GPT partitition
       tables.

       Partition files are generally matched against any partitions already existing on disk in a
       simple algorithm: the partition files are sorted by their filename (ignoring the directory
       prefix), and then compared in order against existing partitions matching the same
       partition type UUID. Specifically, the first existing partition with a specific partition
       type UUID is assigned the first definition file with the same partition type UUID, and the
       second existing partition with a specific type UUID the second partition file with the
       same type UUID, and so on. Any left-over partition files that have no matching existing
       partition are assumed to define new partition that shall be created. Such partitions are
       appended to the end of the partition table, in the order defined by their names utilizing
       the first partition slot greater than the highest slot number currently in use. Any
       existing partitions that have no matching partition file are left as they are.

       Note that these definitions may only be used to create and initialize new partitions or to
       grow existing ones. In the latter case it will not grow the contained files systems
       however; separate mechanisms, such as systemd-growfs(8) may be used to grow the file
       systems inside of these partitions. Partitions may also be marked for automatic growing
       via the GrowFileSystem= setting, in which case the file system is grown on first mount by
       tools that respect this flag. See below for details.

[PARTITION] SECTION OPTIONS

       Type=
           The GPT partition type UUID to match. This may be a GPT partition type UUID such as
           4f68bce3-e8cd-4db1-96e7-fbcaf984b709, or one of the following special identifiers:

           This setting defaults to linux-generic.

           Most of the partition type UUIDs listed above are defined in the Discoverable
           Partitions Specification[1].

       Label=
           The textual label to assign to the partition if none is assigned yet. Note that this
           setting is not used for matching. It is also not used when a label is already set for
           an existing partition. It is thus only used when a partition is newly created or when
           an existing one had a no label set (that is: an empty label). If not specified a label
           derived from the partition type is automatically used. Simple specifier expansion is
           supported, see below.

       UUID=
           The UUID to assign to the partition if none is assigned yet. Note that this setting is
           not used for matching. It is also not used when a UUID is already set for an existing
           partition. It is thus only used when a partition is newly created or when an existing
           one had a all-zero UUID set. If not specified a UUID derived from the partition type
           is automatically used.

       Priority=
           A numeric priority to assign to this partition, in the range -2147483648...2147483647,
           with smaller values indicating higher priority, and higher values indicating smaller
           priority. This priority is used in case the configured size constraints on the defined
           partitions do not permit fitting all partitions onto the available disk space. If the
           partitions do not fit, the highest numeric partition priority of all defined
           partitions is determined, and all defined partitions with this priority are removed
           from the list of new partitions to create (which may be multiple, if the same priority
           is used for multiple partitions). The fitting algorithm is then tried again. If the
           partitions still do not fit, the now highest numeric partition priority is determined,
           and the matching partitions removed too, and so on. Partitions of a priority of 0 or
           lower are never removed. If all partitions with a priority above 0 are removed and the
           partitions still do not fit on the device the operation fails. Note that this priority
           has no effect on ordering partitions, for that use the alphabetical order of the
           filenames of the partition definition files. Defaults to 0.

       Weight=
           A numeric weight to assign to this partition in the range 0...1000000. Available disk
           space is assigned the defined partitions according to their relative weights (subject
           to the size constraints configured with SizeMinBytes=, SizeMaxBytes=), so that a
           partition with weight 2000 gets double the space as one with weight 1000, and a
           partition with weight 333 a third of that. Defaults to 1000.

           The Weight= setting is used to distribute available disk space in an "elastic"
           fashion, based on the disk size and existing partitions. If a partition shall have a
           fixed size use both SizeMinBytes= and SizeMaxBytes= with the same value in order to
           fixate the size to one value, in which case the weight has no effect.

       PaddingWeight=
           Similar to Weight= but sets a weight for the free space after the partition (the
           "padding"). When distributing available space the weights of all partitions and all
           defined padding is summed, and then each partition and padding gets the fraction
           defined by its weight. Defaults to 0, i.e. by default no padding is applied.

           Padding is useful if empty space shall be left for later additions or a safety margin
           at the end of the device or between partitions.

       SizeMinBytes=, SizeMaxBytes=
           Specifies minimum and maximum size constraints in bytes. Takes the usual K, M, G, T,
           ... suffixes (to the base of 1024). If SizeMinBytes= is specified the partition is
           created at or grown to at least the specified size. If SizeMaxBytes= is specified the
           partition is created at or grown to at most the specified size. The precise size is
           determined through the weight value value configured with Weight=, see above. When
           SizeMinBytes= is set equal to SizeMaxBytes= the configured weight has no effect as the
           partition is explicitly sized to the specified fixed value. Note that partitions are
           never created smaller than 4096 bytes, and since partitions are never shrunk the
           previous size of the partition (in case the partition already exists) is also enforced
           as lower bound for the new size. The values should be specified as multiples of 4096
           bytes, and are rounded upwards (in case of SizeMinBytes=) or downwards (in case of
           SizeMaxBytes=) otherwise. If the backing device does not provide enough space to
           fulfill the constraints placing the partition will fail. For partitions that shall be
           created, depending on the setting of Priority= (see above) the partition might be
           dropped and the placing algorithm restarted. By default a minimum size constraint of
           10M and no maximum size constraint is set.

       PaddingMinBytes=, PaddingMaxBytes=
           Specifies minimum and maximum size constraints in bytes for the free space after the
           partition (the "padding"). Semantics are similar to SizeMinBytes= and SizeMaxBytes=,
           except that unlike partition sizes free space can be shrunk and can be as small as
           zero. By default no size constraints on padding are set, so that only PaddingWeight=
           determines the size of the padding applied.

       CopyBlocks=
           Takes a path to a regular file, block device node or directory, or the special value
           "auto". If specified and the partition is newly created, the data from the specified
           path is written to the newly created partition, on the block level. If a directory is
           specified, the backing block device of the file system the directory is on is
           determined, and the data read directly from that. This option is useful to efficiently
           replicate existing file systems onto new partitions on the block level — for example
           to build a simple OS installer or an OS image builder.

           If the special value "auto" is specified, the source to copy from is automatically
           picked up from the running system (or the image specified with --image= — if used). A
           partition that matches both the configured partition type (as declared with Type=
           described above), and the currently mounted directory appropriate for that partition
           type is determined. For example, if the partition type is set to "root" the partition
           backing the root directory (/) is used as source to copy from — if its partition type
           is set to "root" as well. If the declared type is "usr" the partition backing /usr/ is
           used as source to copy blocks from — if its partition type is set to "usr" too. The
           logic is capable of automatically tracking down the backing partitions for encrypted
           and Verity-enabled volumes.  "CopyBlocks=auto" is useful for implementing
           "self-replicating" systems, i.e. systems that are their own installer.

           The file specified here must have a size that is a multiple of the basic block size
           512 and not be empty. If this option is used, the size allocation algorithm is
           slightly altered: the partition is created as least as big as required to fit the data
           in, i.e. the data size is an additional minimum size value taken into consideration
           for the allocation algorithm, similar to and in addition to the SizeMin= value
           configured above.

           This option has no effect if the partition it is declared for already exists, i.e.
           existing data is never overwritten. Note that the data is copied in before the
           partition table is updated, i.e. before the partition actually is persistently
           created. This provides robustness: it is guaranteed that the partition either doesn't
           exist or exists fully populated; it is not possible that the partition exists but is
           not or only partially populated.

           This option cannot be combined with Format= or CopyFiles=.

       Format=
           Takes a file system name, such as "ext4", "btrfs", "xfs" or "vfat", or the special
           value "swap". If specified and the partition is newly created it is formatted with the
           specified file system (or as swap device). The file system UUID and label are
           automatically derived from the partition UUID and label. If this option is used, the
           size allocation algorithm is slightly altered: the partition is created as least as
           big as required for the minimal file system of the specified type (or 4KiB if the
           minimal size is not known).

           This option has no effect if the partition already exists.

           Similar to the behaviour of CopyBlocks= the file system is formatted before the
           partition is created, ensuring that the partition only ever exists with a fully
           initialized file system.

           This option cannot be combined with CopyBlocks=.

       CopyFiles=
           Takes a pair of colon separated absolute file system paths. The first path refers to a
           source file or directory on the host, the second path refers to a target in the file
           system of the newly created partition and formatted file system. This setting may be
           used to copy files or directories from the host into the file system that is created
           due to the Format= option. If CopyFiles= is used without Format= specified explicitly,
           "Format=" with a suitable default is implied (currently "ext4", but this may change in
           the future). This option may be used multiple times to copy multiple files or
           directories from host into the newly formatted file system. The colon and second path
           may be omitted in which case the source path is also used as the target path (relative
           to the root of the newly created file system). If the source path refers to a
           directory it is copied recursively.

           This option has no effect if the partition already exists: it cannot be used to copy
           additional files into an existing partition, it may only be used to populate a file
           system created anew.

           The copy operation is executed before the file system is registered in the partition
           table, thus ensuring that a file system populated this way only ever exists fully
           initialized.

           This option cannot be combined with CopyBlocks=.

           When systemd-repart is invoked with the --image= or --root= command line switches the
           source paths specified are taken relative to the specified root directory or disk
           image root.

       MakeDirectories=
           Takes one or more absolute paths, separated by whitespace, each declaring a directory
           to create within the new file system. Behaviour is similar to CopyFiles=, but instead
           of copying in a set of files this just creates the specified directories with the
           default mode of 0755 owned by the root user and group, plus all their parent
           directories (with the same ownership and access mode). To configure directories with
           different ownership or access mode, use CopyFiles= and specify a source tree to copy
           containing appropriately owned/configured directories. This option may be used more
           than once to create multiple directories. When CopyFiles= and MakeDirectories= are
           used together the former is applied first. If a directory listed already exists no
           operation is executed (in particular, the ownership/access mode of the directories is
           left as is).

           The primary usecase for this option is to create a minimal set of directories that may
           be mounted over by other partitions contained in the same disk image. For example, a
           disk image where the root file system is formatted at first boot might want to
           automatically pre-create /usr/ in it this way, so that the "usr" partition may
           over-mount it.

           Consider using systemd-tmpfiles(8) with its --image= option to pre-create other, more
           complex directory hierarchies (as well as other inodes) with fine-grained control of
           ownership, access modes and other file attributes.

       Encrypt=
           Takes one of "off", "key-file", "tpm2" and "key-file+tpm2" (alternatively, also
           accepts a boolean value, which is mapped to "off" when false, and "key-file" when
           true). Defaults to "off". If not "off" the partition will be formatted with a LUKS2
           superblock, before the blocks configured with CopyBlocks= are copied in or the file
           system configured with Format= is created.

           The LUKS2 UUID is automatically derived from the partition UUID in a stable fashion.
           If "key-file" or "key-file+tpm2" is used, a key is added to the LUKS2 superblock,
           configurable with the --key-file= option to systemd-repart. If "tpm2" or
           "key-file+tpm2" is used, a key is added to the LUKS2 superblock that is enrolled to
           the local TPM2 chip, as configured with the --tpm2-device= and --tpm2-pcrs= options to
           systemd-repart.

           When used this slightly alters the size allocation logic as the implicit, minimal size
           limits of Format= and CopyBlocks= are increased by the space necessary for the LUKS2
           superblock (see above).

           This option has no effect if the partition already exists.

       FactoryReset=
           Takes a boolean argument. If specified the partition is marked for removal during a
           factory reset operation. This functionality is useful to implement schemes where
           images can be reset into their original state by removing partitions and creating them
           anew. Defaults to off.

       Flags=
           Configures the 64bit GPT partition flags field to set for the partition when creating
           it. This option has no effect if the partition already exists. If not specified the
           flags values is set to all zeroes, except for the three bits that can also be
           configured via NoAuto=, ReadOnly= and GrowFileSystem=; see below for details on the
           defaults for these three flags. Specify the flags value in hexadecimal (by prefixing
           it with "0x"), binary (prefix "0b") or decimal (no prefix).

       NoAuto=, ReadOnly=, GrowFileSystem=
           Configures the No-Auto, Read-Only and Grow-File-System partition flags (bit 63, 60 and
           59) of the partition table entry, as defined by the Discoverable Partitions
           Specification[1]. Only available for partition types supported by the specification.
           This option is a friendly way to set bits 63, 60 and 59 of the partition flags value
           without setting any of the other bits, and may be set via Flags= too, see above.

           If Flags= is used in conjunction with one or more of NoAuto=/ReadOnly=/GrowFileSystem=
           the latter control the value of the relevant flags, i.e. the high-level settings
           NoAuto=/ReadOnly=/GrowFileSystem= override the relevant bits of the low-level setting
           Flags=.

           Note that the three flags affect only automatic partition mounting, as implemented by
           systemd-gpt-auto-generator(8) or the --image= option of various commands (such as
           systemd-nspawn(1)). It has no effect on explicit mounts, such as those done via
           mount(8) or fstab(5).

           If both bit 50 and 59 are set for a partition (i.e. the partition is marked both
           read-only and marked for file system growing) the latter is typically without effect:
           the read-only flag takes precedence in most tools reading these flags, and since
           growing the file system involves writing to the partition it is consequently ignored.

           NoAuto= defaults to off.  ReadOnly= defaults to on for Verity partition types, and off
           for all others.  GrowFileSystem= defaults to on for all partition types that support
           it, except if the partition is marked read-only (and thus effectively, defaults to off
           for Verity partitions).

EXAMPLES

       Example 1. Grow the root partition to the full disk size at first boot

       With the following file the root partition is automatically grown to the full disk if
       possible during boot.

           # /usr/lib/repart.d/50-root.conf
           [Partition]
           Type=root

       Example 2. Create a swap and home partition automatically on boot, if missing

       The home partition gets all available disk space while the swap partition gets 1G at most
       and 64M at least. We set a priority > 0 on the swap partition to ensure the swap partition
       is not used if not enough space is available. For every three bytes assigned to the home
       partition the swap partition gets assigned one.

           # /usr/lib/repart.d/60-home.conf
           [Partition]
           Type=home

           # /usr/lib/repart.d/70-swap.conf
           [Partition]
           Type=swap
           SizeMinBytes=64M
           SizeMaxBytes=1G
           Priority=1
           Weight=333

       Example 3. Create B partitions in an A/B Verity setup, if missing

       Let's say the vendor intends to update OS images in an A/B setup, i.e. with two root
       partitions (and two matching Verity partitions) that shall be used alternatingly during
       upgrades. To minimize image sizes the original image is shipped only with one root and one
       Verity partition (the "A" set), and the second root and Verity partitions (the "B" set)
       shall be created on first boot on the free space on the medium.

           # /usr/lib/repart.d/50-root.conf
           [Partition]
           Type=root
           SizeMinBytes=512M
           SizeMaxBytes=512M

           # /usr/lib/repart.d/60-root-verity.conf
           [Partition]
           Type=root-verity
           SizeMinBytes=64M
           SizeMaxBytes=64M

       The definitions above cover the "A" set of root partition (of a fixed 512M size) and
       Verity partition for the root partition (of a fixed 64M size). Let's use symlinks to
       create the "B" set of partitions, since after all they shall have the same properties and
       sizes as the "A" set.

           # ln -s 50-root.conf /usr/lib/repart.d/70-root-b.conf
           # ln -s 60-root-verity.conf /usr/lib/repart.d/80-root-verity-b.conf
