<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><command>systemd-repart</command> grows and adds partitions to a partition table, based on the
|
|
configuration files described in
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>repart.d</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If invoked with no arguments, it operates on the block device backing the root file system
|
|
partition of the running OS, thus growing and adding partitions of the booted OS image itself. If
|
|
<varname>--image=</varname> is used it will operate on the specified image file. When called in the
|
|
initrd it operates on the block device backing <filename>/sysroot/</filename> instead, i.e. on the block
|
|
device the system will soon transition into. The <filename>systemd-repart.service</filename> service is
|
|
generally run at boot in the initrd, in order to augment the partition table of the OS before its
|
|
partitions are mounted. <command>systemd-repart</command> (mostly) operates in a purely incremental mode:
|
|
it only grows existing and adds new partitions; it does not shrink, delete or move existing partitions.
|
|
The service is intended to be run on every boot, but when it detects that the partition table already
|
|
matches the installed <filename>repart.d/*.conf</filename> configuration files, it executes no
|
|
operation.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><command>systemd-repart</command> is intended to be used when deploying OS images, to automatically
|
|
adjust them to the system they are running on, during first boot. This way the deployed image can be
|
|
minimal in size and may be augmented automatically at boot when needed, taking possession of disk space
|
|
available but not yet used. Specifically the following use cases are among those covered:</para>
|
|
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem><para>The root partition may be grown to cover the whole available disk space.</para></listitem>
|
|
<listitem><para>A <filename>/home/</filename>, swap or <filename>/srv/</filename> partition can be
|
|
added.</para></listitem>
|
|
<listitem><para>A second (or third, …) root partition may be added, to cover A/B style setups
|
|
where a second version of the root file system is alternatingly used for implementing update
|
|
schemes. The deployed image would carry only a single partition ("A") but on first boot a second
|
|
partition ("B") for this purpose is automatically created.</para></listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
|
|
<para>The algorithm executed by <command>systemd-repart</command> is roughly as follows:</para>
|
|
|
|
<orderedlist>
|
|
<listitem><para>The <filename>repart.d/*.conf</filename> configuration files are loaded and parsed,
|
|
and ordered by filename (without the directory prefix). For each configuration file,
|
|
drop-in files are looked for in directories with same name as the configuration file
|
|
with a suffix ".d" added.</para></listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem><para>The partition table already existing on the block device is loaded and
|
|
parsed.</para></listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem><para>The existing partitions in the partition table are matched up with the
|
|
<filename>repart.d/*.conf</filename> files by GPT partition type UUID. The first existing partition
|
|
of a specific type is assigned the first configuration file declaring the same type. The second
|
|
existing partition of a specific type is then assigned the second configuration file declaring the same
|
|
type, and so on. After this iterative assigning is complete any left-over existing partitions that have
|
|
no matching configuration file are considered "foreign" and left as they are. And any configuration
|
|
files for which no partition currently exists are understood as a request to create such a partition.
|
|
</para></listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem><para>Partitions that shall be created are now allocated on the disk, taking the size
|
|
constraints and weights declared in the configuration files into account. Free space is used within the
|
|
limits set by size and padding requests. In addition, existing partitions that should be grown are
|
|
grown. New partitions are always appended to the end of the partition table, taking the first partition
|
|
table slot whose index is greater than the indexes of all existing partitions. Partitions are never
|
|
reordered and thus partition numbers remain stable. When partitions are created, they are placed in the
|
|
smallest area of free space that is large enough to satisfy the size and padding limits. This means
|
|
that partitions might have different order on disk than in the partition table. Note that this
|
|
allocation happens in memory only, the partition table on disk is not updated yet.</para></listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem><para>All existing partitions for which configuration files exist and which currently have no
|
|
GPT partition label set will be assigned a label, either explicitly configured in the configuration or
|
|
— if that's missing — derived automatically from the partition type. The same is done for all
|
|
partitions that are newly created. These assignments are done in memory only, too, the disk is not
|
|
updated yet.</para></listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem><para>Similarly, all existing partitions for which configuration files exist and which
|
|
currently have an all-zero identifying UUID will be assigned a new UUID. This UUID is cryptographically
|
|
hashed from a common seed value together with the partition type UUID (and a counter in case multiple
|
|
partitions of the same type are defined), see below. The same is done for all partitions that are
|
|
created anew. These assignments are done in memory only, too, the disk is not updated yet.
|
|
</para></listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem><para>Similarly, if the disk's volume UUID is all zeroes it is also initialized, also
|
|
cryptographically hashed from the same common seed value. This is done in memory only too.
|
|
</para></listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem><para>The disk space assigned to new partitions (i.e. what was previously free space) is now
|
|
erased. Specifically, all file system signatures are removed, and if the device supports it, the
|
|
<constant>BLKDISCARD</constant> I/O control command is issued to inform the hardware that the space is
|
|
now empty. In addition any "padding" between partitions and at the end of the device is similarly
|
|
erased.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>The new partition table is finally written to disk. The kernel is asked to reread the

</orderedlist>
|
|
|
|
<para>As exception to the normally strictly incremental operation, when called in a special "factory
|
|
reset" mode, <command>systemd-repart</command> may also be used to erase existing partitions to
|
|
reset an installation back to vendor defaults. This mode of operation is used when either the
|
|
<option>--factory-reset=yes</option> switch is passed on the tool's command line, or the
|
|
<option>systemd.factory_reset=yes</option> option specified on the kernel command line, or the
|
|
<varname>FactoryReset</varname> EFI variable (vendor UUID
|
|
<constant>8cf2644b-4b0b-428f-9387-6d876050dc67</constant>) is set to "yes". It alters the algorithm above
|
|
slightly: between the 3rd and the 4th step above any partition marked explicitly via the
|
|
<varname>FactoryReset=</varname> boolean is deleted, and the algorithm restarted, thus immediately
|
|
re-creating these partitions anew empty.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that <command>systemd-repart</command> by default only changes partition tables, it does not
|
|
create or resize any file systems within these partitions, unless the <varname>Format=</varname>
|
|
configuration option is specified. Also note that there are also separate mechanisms available for this
|
|
purpose, for example
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-growfs</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> and
|
|
<command>systemd-makefs</command>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The UUIDs identifying the new partitions created (or assigned to existing partitions that have no
|
|
UUID yet), as well as the disk as a whole are hashed cryptographically from a common seed value. This
|
|
seed value is usually the
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>machine-id</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> of the
|
|
system, so that the machine ID reproducibly determines the UUIDs assigned to all partitions. If the
|
|
machine ID cannot be read (or the user passes <option>--seed=random</option>, see below) the seed is
|
|
generated randomly instead, so that the partition UUIDs are also effectively random. The seed value may
|
|
also be set explicitly, formatted as UUID via the <option>--seed=</option> option. By hashing these UUIDs
|
|
from a common seed images prepared with this tool become reproducible and the result of the algorithm
|
|
above deterministic.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The positional argument should specify the block device to operate on. Instead of a block device
|
|
node path a regular file may be specified too, in which case the command operates on it like it would if
|
|
a loopback block device node was specified with the file attached. If <option>--empty=create</option> is
|
|
specified the specified path is created as regular file, which is useful for generating disk images from
|
|
scratch.</para>

<para>The <option>--size=auto</option> option takes the sizes of pre-existing partitions into
