    <title>Description</title>

    <para><filename>systemd-cryptsetup-generator</filename> is a
    generator that translates <filename>/etc/crypttab</filename> into
    native systemd units early at boot and when configuration of the
    system manager is reloaded. This will create
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-cryptsetup@.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    units as necessary.</para>

    <para><filename>systemd-cryptsetup-generator</filename> implements

    <title>Kernel Command Line</title>

    <para><filename>systemd-cryptsetup-generator</filename>
    understands the following kernel command line parameters:</para>

        This option may be specified more than once in order to set up
        multiple devices. <varname>rd.luks.uuid=</varname> is honored

        <para>If /etc/crypttab contains entries with the same UUID,
        then the name, keyfile and options specified there will be

        <para>If /etc/crypttab exists, only those UUIDs
        specified on the kernel command line
        will be activated in the initrd or the real root.</para>

        <varname>rd.luks.uuid=</varname> or

        <para>If only a list of options, without an UUID, is

        <varname>rd.luks.options=</varname> is honored only by initial
        RAM disk (initrd) while <varname>luks.options=</varname> is

        <term><varname>luks.key=</varname></term>
        <term><varname>rd.luks.key=</varname></term>

        <listitem><para>Takes a password file name as argument or a
        LUKS super block UUID followed by a <literal>=</literal> and a
        password file name.</para>

        <para>For those entries specified with
        <varname>rd.luks.uuid=</varname> or
        <varname>luks.uuid=</varname>, the password file will be set
        to the one specified by <varname>rd.luks.key=</varname> or
        <varname>luks.key=</varname> of the corresponding UUID, or the
        password file that was specified without a UUID.</para>

        <para>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,
        <varname>rd.luks.uuid=</varname>b40f1abf-2a53-400a-889a-2eccc27eaa40
        <varname>rd.luks.key=</varname>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 <literal>keydev</literal>.
        This syntax is for now only supported on a per-device basis,
        i.e. you have to specify LUKS device UUID.</para>

        <para><varname>rd.luks.key=</varname>
        is honored only by initial RAM disk
        (initrd) while
        <varname>luks.key=</varname> is
        honored by both the main system and
        the initrd.</para>
