<title>Description</title>
|
||
|
||
<para><command>systemd-dissect</command> is a tool for introspecting and interacting with file system OS
|
||
disk images, specifically Discoverable Disk Images (DDIs). It supports four different operations:</para>
|
||
|
||
<orderedlist>
|
||
<listitem><para>Show general OS image information, including the image's
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>os-release</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> data,
|
||
machine ID, partition information and more.</para></listitem>
|
||
|
||
<listitem><para>Mount an OS image to a local directory. In this mode it will dissect the OS image and
|
||
mount the included partitions according to their designation onto a directory and possibly
|
||
sub-directories.</para></listitem>
|
||
|
||
<listitem><para>Unmount an OS image from a local directory. In this mode it will recursively unmount
|
||
the mounted partitions and remove the underlying loop device, including all the partition sub-devices.
|
||
</para></listitem>
|
||
|
||
<listitem><para>Copy files and directories in and out of an OS image.</para></listitem>
|
||
</orderedlist>
|
||
|
||
<para>The tool may operate on three types of OS images:</para>
|
||
|
||
<orderedlist>
|
||
<listitem><para>OS disk images containing a GPT partition table envelope, with partitions marked
|
||
according to the <ulink url="https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/discoverable_partitions_specification">Discoverable Partitions
|
||
Specification</ulink>.</para></listitem>
|
||
|
||
<listitem><para>OS disk images containing just a plain file-system without an enveloping partition
|
||
table. (This file system is assumed to be the root file system of the OS.)</para></listitem>
|
||
|
||
<listitem><para>OS disk images containing a GPT or MBR partition table, with a single
|
||
partition only. (This partition is assumed to contain the root file system of the OS.)</para></listitem>
|
||
</orderedlist>
|
||
|
||
<para>OS images may use any kind of Linux-supported file systems. In addition they may make use of LUKS
|
||
disk encryption, and contain Verity integrity information. Note that qualifying OS images may be booted
|
||
with <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-nspawn</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>'s
|
||
<option>--image=</option> switch, and be used as root file system for system service using the
|
||
<varname>RootImage=</varname> unit file setting, see
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Note that the partition table shown when invoked without command switch (as listed below) does not
|
||
necessarily show all partitions included in the image, but just the partitions that are understood and
|
||
considered part of an OS disk image. Specifically, partitions of unknown types are ignored, as well as
|
||
duplicate partitions (i.e. more than one per partition type), as are root and <filename>/usr/</filename>
|
||
partitions of architectures not compatible with the local system. In other words: this tool will display
|
||
what it operates with when mounting the image. To display the complete list of partitions use a tool such
|
||
as <citerefentry
|
||
project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>fdisk</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>The <command>systemd-dissect</command> command may be invoked as <command>mount.ddi</command> in
|
||
which case it implements the <citerefentry
|
||
project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>mount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> "external
|
||
helper" interface. This ensures disk images compatible with <command>systemd-dissect</command> can be
|
||
mounted directly by <command>mount</command> and <citerefentry
|
||
project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>fstab</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>. For
|
||
details see below.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>In place of the image path a <literal>.v/</literal> versioned directory may be specified, see
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.v</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
|
||
details.</para>
|
||
</refsect1>

<refsect1>
|
||
<title>Commands</title>
|
||
|
||
<para>If neither of the command switches listed below are passed the specified disk image is opened and
|
||
general information about the image and the contained partitions and their use is shown.</para>

||
|
||
<variablelist>
|

<varlistentry>
|

<term><option>--mount</option></term>
|

<term><option>-m</option></term>
|
||
|
||
<listitem><para>Mount the specified OS image to the specified directory. This will dissect the image,
|
||
determine the OS root file system — as well as possibly other partitions — and mount them to the
|

specified directory. If the OS image contains multiple partitions marked with the <ulink
|
||
url="https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/discoverable_partitions_specification">Discoverable Partitions Specification</ulink>
|
||
multiple nested mounts are established. This command expects two arguments: a path to an image file
|
||
and a path to a directory where to mount the image.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>To unmount an OS image mounted like this use the <option>--umount</option> operation.</para>
|
||

<para>When the OS image contains LUKS encrypted or Verity integrity protected file systems
|
||
appropriate volumes are automatically set up and marked for automatic disassembly when the image is
|

unmounted.</para>
|

<para>The OS image may either be specified as path to an OS image stored in a regular file or may
|
||
refer to block device node (in the latter case the block device must be the "whole" device, i.e. not
|
||
a partition device). (The other supported commands described here support this, too.)</para>

<para>All mounted file systems are checked with the appropriate <citerefentry

counts, inode numbers and timestamps is excluded from the output on purpose, as it typically

<listitem><para>Configures the "reference" string the kernel shall report as backing file for the

arbitrary strings up to a length of 63 characters. This sets the kernel's

<literal>.lo_file_name</literal> field for the block device. Note this is distinct from the

<filename>/sys/class/block/loopX/loop/backing_file</filename> attribute file that always reports a

path referring to the actual backing file. The latter is subject to mount namespace translation, the

former is not.</para>

via <command>systemd-dissect attach --loop-ref=quux foo.raw</command>, and then reference it in a

command via the specified filename: <command>cfdisk /dev/disk/by-loop-ref/quux</command>.

<para>The <command>systemd-dissect</command> executable may be symlinked to

project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>mount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>'s
|

"external helper" interface for the (pseudo) file system type <literal>ddi</literal>. This means

conformant disk images may be mounted directly via</para>

<programlisting># mount -t ddi myimage.raw targetdir/</programlisting>

<para>in a fashion mostly equivalent to:</para>
|
||
|
||
<programlisting># systemd-dissect --mount myimage.raw targetdir/</programlisting>
|
||
|
||
<para>Note that since a single DDI may contain multiple file systems it should later be unmounted with
|
||
<command>umount -R targetdir/</command>, for recursive operation.</para>
|
||
|

<para>This functionality is particularly useful to mount DDIs automatically at boot via simple

<filename>/etc/fstab</filename> entries. For example:</para>

<para>When invoked this way the mount options <literal>ro</literal>, <literal>rw</literal>,

<literal>discard</literal>, <literal>nodiscard</literal> map to the corresponding options listed above

(i.e. <option>--read-only</option>, <option>--discard=all</option>,

<option>--discard=disabled</option>). Mount options are <emphasis>not</emphasis> generically passed on to
