systemd-cryptsetup-generator — Unit generator for /etc/crypttab
/usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-cryptsetup-generator
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
systemd-cryptsetup@.service(8)
units as necessary.
systemd-cryptsetup-generator
implements the generator
specification.
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 name.
For those entries specified with
rd.luks.uuid= or
luks.uuid=, the password file will be set
to the one specified by rd.luks.key= or
luks.key= of the corresponding UUID, or the
password file that was specified without a UUID.
rd.luks.key=
is honored only by initial RAM disk
(initrd) while
luks.key= is
honored by both the main system and
the initrd.
