SYSTEMD-MAKEFS@.SERVICE(8)           systemd-makefs@.service           SYSTEMD-MAKEFS@.SERVICE(8)

NAME
       systemd-makefs@.service, systemd-mkswap@.service, systemd-growfs@.service, systemd-makefs,
       systemd-growfs - Creating and growing file systems on demand

SYNOPSIS
       systemd-makefs AT device.service

       systemd-mkswap AT device.service

       systemd-growfs AT mountpoint.service

       /lib/systemd/systemd-makefs

       /lib/systemd/systemd-growfs

DESCRIPTION
       systemd-makefs@.service, systemd-mkswap@.service, and systemd-growfs@.service are used to
       implement the x-systemd.makefs and x-systemd.growfs options in fstab(5), see
       systemd.mount(5). They are instantiated for each device for which the file system or swap
       structure needs to be initialized, and for each mount point where the file system needs to
       be grown.

       These services are started at boot, either right before or right after the mount point or
       swap device are used.

       systemd-makefs knows very little about specific file systems and swap devices, and after
       checking that the block device does not already contain a file system or other content, it
       will execute binaries specific to each filesystem type (/sbin/mkfs.type or /sbin/mkswap).

       systemd-growfs knows very little about specific file systems and swap devices, and will
       instruct the kernel to grow the mounted filesystem to full size of the underlying block
       device. Nevertheless, it needs to know the ioctl(2) number specific to each file system,
       so only certain types are supported. Currently: ext4(5), btrfs(5), xfs(5), and dm-crypt
       partitions (see cryptsetup(8)).

       If the creation of a file system or swap device fails, the mount point or swap is failed
       too. If the growing of a file system fails, a warning is emitted.
