'containing the active EFI ESP is automatically mounted to the root directory /. '
'If the partition is encrypted with LUKS or has dm-verity integrity data (see below), the '
'device mapper file will be named `/dev/mapper/root`.'),
'USR': (
'Any native, optionally in LUKS',
'Similar semantics to root partition, but just the `/usr/` partition.'),
'ROOT_VERITY': (
'A dm-verity superblock followed by hash data',
'Contains dm-verity integrity hash data for the matching root partition. If this feature is '
'used the partition UUID of the root partition should be the first 128 bits of the root hash '
'of the dm-verity hash data, and the partition UUID of this dm-verity partition should be the '
'final 128 bits of it, so that the root partition and its Verity partition can be discovered '
'easily, simply by specifying the root hash.'),
'USR_VERITY': (
'A dm-verity superblock followed by hash data',
'Similar semantics to root Verity partition, but just for the `/usr/` partition.'),
'ROOT_VERITY_SIG': (
'A serialized JSON object, see below',
'Contains a root hash and a PKCS#7 signature for it, permitting signed dm-verity GPT images.'),
'USR_VERITY_SIG': (
'A serialized JSON object, see below',
'Similar semantics to root Verity signature partition, but just for the `/usr/` partition.'),
'ESP': (
'VFAT',
'The ESP used for the current boot is automatically mounted to `/efi/` (or `/boot/` as '
'fallback), unless a different partition is mounted there (possibly via `/etc/fstab`, or '
'because the Extended Boot Loader Partition — see below — exists) or the directory is '
'non-empty on the root disk. This partition type is defined by the '
'[UEFI Specification](http://www.uefi.org/specifications).'),
'XBOOTLDR': (
'Typically VFAT',
'The Extended Boot Loader Partition (XBOOTLDR) used for the current boot is automatically '
'mounted to /boot/, unless a different partition is mounted there (possibly via '
'/etc/fstab) or the directory is non-empty on the root disk. This partition type '
'is defined by the [Boot Loader Specification](https://systemd.io/BOOT_LOADER_SPECIFICATION).'),
'SWAP': (
'Swap, optionally in LUKS',
'All swap partitions on the disk containing the root partition are automatically enabled. '
'If the partition is encrypted with LUKS, the device mapper file will be named '
'`/dev/mapper/swap`. This partition type predates the Discoverable Partitions Specification.'),
'HOME': (
'Any native, optionally in LUKS',
'The first partition with this type UUID on the disk containing the root partition is '
'automatically mounted to `/home/`. If the partition is encrypted with LUKS, the device '
'mapper file will be named `/dev/mapper/home`.'),
'SRV': (
'Any native, optionally in LUKS',
'The first partition with this type UUID on the disk containing the root partition is '
'automatically mounted to `/srv/`. If the partition is encrypted with LUKS, the device '
'mapper file will be named `/dev/mapper/srv`.'),
'VAR': (
'Any native, optionally in LUKS',
'The first partition with this type UUID on the disk containing the root partition is '
'automatically mounted to `/var/` — under the condition that its partition UUID matches '
'the first 128 bits of `HMAC-SHA256(machine-id, 0x4d21b016b53445c2a9fb5c16e091fd2d)` '
'(i.e. the SHA256 HMAC hash of the binary type UUID keyed by the machine ID as read from '
'[`/etc/machine-id`](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/machine-id.html). '
'This special requirement is made because `/var/` (unlike the other partition types '
'listed here) is inherently private to a specific installation and cannot possibly be '
'shared between multiple OS installations on the same disk, and thus should be bound to '
'a specific instance of the OS, identified by its machine ID. If the partition is '
'encrypted with LUKS, the device mapper file will be named `/dev/mapper/var`.'),
'TMP': (
'Any native, optionally in LUKS',
'The first partition with this type UUID on the disk containing the root partition is '
'automatically mounted to `/var/tmp/`. If the partition is encrypted with LUKS, the '
'device mapper file will be named `/dev/mapper/tmp`. Note that the intended mount point '
'is indeed `/var/tmp/`, not `/tmp/`. The latter is typically maintained in memory via '
'tmpfs and does not require a partition on disk. In some cases it might be '
'desirable to make `/tmp/` persistent too, in which case it is recommended to make it '
'a symlink or bind mount to `/var/tmp/`, thus not requiring its own partition type UUID.'),
'USER_HOME': (
'Any native, optionally in LUKS',
'A home partition of a user, managed by '
'[`systemd-homed`](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-homed.html).'),
'LINUX_GENERIC': (
'Any native, optionally in LUKS',
'No automatic mounting takes place for other Linux data partitions. This partition type '
'should be used for all partitions that carry Linux file systems. The installer needs '
'to mount them explicitly via entries in /etc/fstab. Optionally, these '
'partitions may be encrypted with LUKS. This partition type predates the Discoverable '
'Partitions Specification.'),
