SYSTEMD-CRYPTSETUP-GENERAsystemd-cryptsetup-genSYSTEMD-CRYPTSETUP-GENERATOR(8)

NAME
       systemd-cryptsetup-generator - Unit generator for /etc/crypttab

SYNOPSIS
       /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 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 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.

           It is also possible to specify an external device which should be
           mounted before we attempt to unlock the LUKS device.
           systemd-cryptsetup will use password file stored on that device.
           Device containing password file is specified by appending colon and
           a device identifier to the password file path. For example,
           rd.luks.uuid=b40f1abf-2a53-400a-889a-2eccc27eaa40
           rd.luks.key=b40f1abf-2a53-400a-889a-2eccc27eaa40=/keyfile:LABEL=keydev.
           Hence, in this case, we will attempt to mount file system residing
           on the block device with label "keydev". This syntax is for now
           only supported on a per-device basis, i.e. you have to specify LUKS
           device 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.
