<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><filename>repart.d/*.conf</filename> 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
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-repart</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
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.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>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.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Currently, support for partition definition files is only implemented for GPT partition
|
|
tables.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>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.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>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
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-growfs</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> may be
|
|
used to grow the file systems inside of these partitions. Partitions may also be marked for automatic
|
|
growing via the <varname>GrowFileSystem=</varname> setting, in which case the file system is grown on
|
|
first mount by tools that respect this flag. See below for details.</para>

using them as originally written, potentially creating this partition. Specifically,

<command>systemd-repart</command> will fall back if this partition is found to already exist on disk,
|
|
or if the target partition already exists on disk but is too small, or if it cannot allocate space

<para>The following fields are merged into the target definition in the specified ways:

<varname>Weight=</varname> and <varname>PaddingWeight=</varname> are simply overwritten;

|
|
cannot set these settings either. A definition cannot simultaneously be a supplement and act as a
|
|
target for some other supplement definition. A target cannot have more than one supplement partition
|
|
associated with it.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>For example, distributions can use this to implement <varname>$BOOT</varname> as defined in
|
|
the <ulink url="https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/boot_loader_specification/">Boot Loader
|
|
Specification</ulink>. Distributions may prefer to use the ESP as <varname>$BOOT</varname> whenever
|
|
possible, but to adhere to the spec XBOOTLDR must sometimes be used instead. So, they should create
|
|
two definitions: the first defining an ESP big enough to hold just the bootloader, and a second for
|
|
the XBOOTLDR that's sufficiently large to hold kernels and configured as a supplement for the ESP.
|
|
Whenever possible, <command>systemd-repart</command> will try to merge the two definitions to create
|
|
one large ESP, but if that's not allowable due to the existing conditions on disk a small ESP and a
|
|
large XBOOTLDR will be created instead.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>As another example, distributions can also use this to seamlessly share a single
|
|
<filename>/home</filename> partition in a multi-boot scenario, while preferring to keep
|
|
<filename>/home</filename> on the root partition by default. Having a <filename>/home</filename>
|
|
partition separated from the root partition entails some extra complexity: someone has to decide how
|
|
to split the space between the two partitions. On the other hand, it allows a user to share their
|
|
home area between multiple installed OSs (i.e. via <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-homed.service
|
|
</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>). Distributions should create two definitions:
|
|
the first for a root partition that takes up some relatively small percentage of the disk, and the
|
|
second as a supplement for the first to create a <filename>/home</filename> partition that takes up
|
|
all the remaining free space. On first boot, if <command>systemd-repart</command> finds an existing
|
|
<filename>/home</filename> partition on disk, it'll un-merge the definitions and create just a small
|
|
root partition. Otherwise, the definitions will be merged and a single large root partition will be
|
|
created.</para>
