SYSTEMD-CRYPTSETUP(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 systemd-cryptsetup@.service(8) units as necessary.

systemd-cryptsetup-generator implements the generator specification[1].

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 honoured only be initial RAM disk (initrd) while luks= is honoured 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 honoured only be initial RAM disk (initrd) while luks.crypttab= is honoured by both the main system and the initrd.

luks.uuid=, rd.luks.uuid=
    Takes a LUKS super block UUID as argument. This will activate the specified device as part of the boot process as if it was listed in /etc/fstab. This option may be specified more than once in order to set up multiple devices. rd.luks.uuid= is honoured only be initial RAM disk (initrd) while luks.uuid= is honoured by both the main system and the initrd.
