SYSTEMD-CRYPTSETUP-GENERATOR(8) systemd-cryptsetup-generator SYSTEMD-CRYPTSETUP-GENERATOR(8)
NAME
systemd-cryptsetup-generator - Unit generator for /etc/crypttab
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-cryptsetup-generator
DESCRIPTION
systemd-cryptsetup-generator is a generator that translates /etc/crypttab into native systemd units early at
boot and when configuration of the system manager is reloaded. This will create [email protected](8)
units as necessary.
systemd-cryptsetup-generator implements systemd.generator(7).
KERNEL COMMAND LINE
systemd-cryptsetup-generator understands the following kernel command line parameters:
luks=, rd.luks=
Takes a boolean argument. Defaults to "yes". If "no", disables the generator entirely. rd.luks= is
honored only by initial RAM disk (initrd) while luks= is honored by both the main system and the initrd.
luks.crypttab=, rd.luks.crypttab=
Takes a boolean argument. Defaults to "yes". If "no", causes the generator to ignore any devices
configured in /etc/crypttab (luks.uuid= will still work however). rd.luks.crypttab= is honored only by
initial RAM disk (initrd) while luks.crypttab= is honored by both the main system and the initrd.
luks.uuid=, rd.luks.uuid=
Takes a LUKS superblock UUID as argument. This will activate the specified device as part of the boot
process as if it was listed in /etc/crypttab. This option may be specified more than once in order to set
up multiple devices. rd.luks.uuid= is honored only by initial RAM disk (initrd) while luks.uuid= is
honored by both the main system and the initrd.
If /etc/crypttab contains entries with the same UUID, then the name, keyfile and options specified there
will be used. Otherwise the device will have the name "luks-UUID".
If /etc/crypttab exists, only those UUIDs specified on the kernel command line will be activated in the
initrd or the real root.
luks.name=, rd.luks.name=
Takes a LUKS super block UUID followed by an "=" and a name. This implies rd.luks.uuid= or luks.uuid= and
will additionally make the LUKS device given by the UUID appear under the provided name.
rd.luks.name= is honored only by initial RAM disk (initrd) while luks.name= is honored by both the main
system and the initrd.
luks.options=, rd.luks.options=
Takes a LUKS super block UUID followed by an "=" and a string of options separated by commas as argument.
This will override the options for the given UUID.
If only a list of options, without an UUID, is specified, they apply to any UUIDs not specified elsewhere,
and without an entry in /etc/crypttab.
rd.luks.options= is honored only by initial RAM disk (initrd) while luks.options= is honored by both the
main system and the initrd.
luks.key=, rd.luks.key=
Takes a password file name as argument or a LUKS super block UUID followed by a "=" and a password file
