<title>Description</title> | ||
|
||
<para><command>systemd-dissect</command> is a tool for introspecting and interacting with file system OS | ||
disk images. It supports four different operations:</para> | ||
|
||
<orderedlist> | ||
<listitem><para>Show general OS image information, including the image's | ||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>os-release</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> data, | ||
machine ID, partition information and more.</para></listitem> | ||
|
||
<listitem><para>Mount an OS image to a local directory. In this mode it will dissect the OS image and | ||
mount the included partitions according to their designation onto a directory and possibly | ||
sub-directories.</para></listitem> | ||
|
||
<listitem><para>Copy files and directories in and out of an OS image.</para></listitem> | ||
</orderedlist> | ||
|
||
<para>The tool may operate on three types of OS images:</para> | ||
|
||
<orderedlist> | ||
<listitem><para>OS disk images containing a GPT partition table envelope, with partitions marked | ||
according to the <ulink url="https://systemd.io/DISCOVERABLE_PARTITIONS">Discoverable Partitions | ||
Specification</ulink>.</para></listitem> | ||
|
||
<listitem><para>OS disk images containing just a plain file-system without an enveloping partition | ||
table. (This file system is assumed to be the root file system of the OS.)</para></listitem> | ||
|
||
<listitem><para>OS disk images containing a GPT or MBR partition table, with a single | ||
partition only. (This partition is assumed to contain the root file system of the OS.)</para></listitem> | ||
</orderedlist> | ||
|
||
<para>OS images may use any kind of Linux-supported file systems. In addition they may make use of LUKS | ||
disk encryption, and contain Verity integrity information. Note that qualifying OS images may be booted | ||
with <citerefentry><refentrytitle>system-nspawn</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>'s | ||
<option>--image=</option> switch, and be used as root file system for system service using the | ||
<varname>RootImage=</varname> unit file setting, see | ||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>system.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para> | ||

<title>Commands</title> | ||
|
||
<para>If neither of the command switches listed below are passed the specified disk image is opened and | ||
general information about the image and the contained partitions and their use is shown.</para> | ||
|
||
<variablelist> | ||
<varlistentry> | ||
<term><option>--mount</option></term> | ||
<term><option>-m</option></term> | ||
|
||
<listitem><para>Mount the specified OS image to the specified directory. This will dissect the image, | ||
determine the OS root file system — as well as possibly other partitions — and mount them to the | ||
specified directory. If the OS image contains multiple partitions marked with the <ulink | ||
url="https://systemd.io/DISCOVERABLE_PARTITIONS">Discoverable Partitions Specification</ulink> | ||
multiple nested mounts are established. This command expects two arguments: a path to an image file | ||
and a path to a directory where to mount the image.</para> | ||
|
||
<para>To unmount an OS image mounted like this use <citerefentry | ||
project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>umount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>'s | ||
<option>-R</option> switch (for recursive operation), so that the OS image and all nested partition | ||
mounts are unmounted.</para> | ||
|
||
<para>When the OS image contains LUKS encrypted or Verity integrity protected file systems | ||
appropriate volumes are automatically set up and marked for automatic disassembly when the image is | ||
unmounted.</para> | ||
|
||
<para>The OS image may either be specified as path to an OS image stored in a regular file or may | ||
refer to block device node (in the latter case the block device must be the "whole" device, i.e. not | ||
a partition device). (The other supported commands described here support this, too.)</para> | ||
|
||
<para>All mounted file systems are checked with the appropriate <citerefentry | ||
project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>fsck</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> | ||
implementation in automatic fixing mode, unless explicitly turned off (<option>--fsck=no</option>) or | ||
read-only operation is requested (<option>--read-only</option>).</para></listitem> | ||

<listitem><para>Copies a file or directory from the specified OS image into the specified location on | ||
the host file system. Expects three arguments: a path to an image file, a source path (relative to | ||
the image's root directory) and a destination path (relative to the current working directory, or an | ||
absolute path, both outside of the image). If the destination path is omitted or specified as dash | ||
(<literal>-</literal>), the specified file is written to standard output. If the source path in the | ||
image file system refers to a regular file it is copied to the destination path. In this case access | ||
mode, extended attributes and timestamps are copied as well, but file ownership is not. If the source | ||
path in the image refers to a directory, it is copied to the destination path, recursively with all | ||
containing files and directories. In this case the file ownership is copied too.</para></listitem> | ||

activation, which will match it against signature keys available in the kernel | ||
keyring. <option>--verity-data=</option> expects the path to a file with the Verity data to use for | ||
