NAME
gptsync - GPT partition table to MBR partition table synchronisation SYNOPSIS
gptsync [-q] [-t] device DESCRIPTION
gptsync reads the GPT partition table on device and synchronises the legacy MBR partition table with the GPT partition table. The MBR par- tition table can hold only 4 partitions. Legacy bootloaders or operating systems that do not support GPT require an MBR partition table; this is typically the case when using GRUB or LILO on an Intel-based Apple machine. OPTIONS
-q Do not print any message, do not prompt to modify the MBR. -t Truncate partitions starting or expending beyond 2 TiB (MBR limitation). Default is to ignore such partitions. AUTHOR

NAME
systemd-gpt-auto-generator - Generator for automatically discovering and mounting /home as well as discovering and enabling swap partitions, based on GPT partition type GUIDs. SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-gpt-auto-generator DESCRIPTION
systemd-gpt-auto-generator is a generator that automatically discovers /home and swap partitions and creates mount and swap units for them, based on the the partition type GUIDs of GUID partition tables (GPT). Note that this generator will execute no operation on non-GPT systems, on systems where the units are explicitly configured (for example, listed in fstab(5)) or where the mount point is non-empty. This generator will only look for partitions on the same physical disk the root file system is stored on. This generator has no effect on systems where the root file system is distributed on multiple disks, for example via btrfs RAID. This generator is useful for centralizing file system configuration in the partition table and making manual configuration in /etc/fstab or suchlike unnecessary. This generator looks for swap partitions using GPT type 0657fd6d-a4ab-43c4-84e50933c84b4f4f. It looks for /home partitions using GPT type 933ac7e1-2eb4-4f13-b8440e14e2aef915. systemd-gpt-auto-generator implements the generator specification[1]. SEE ALSO
