        <pre>1) systemd-generators are typically used to convert configuration files in
units.
But, systemd-gpt-auto-generator has NO config. 

2) As it says in a description of generators, "User configuration should
override vendor configuration. This (mostly) means that stuff from /etc should
override stuff from /usr."
<a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/Generators/">http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/Generators/</a>
However, the systemd-gpt-auto-generator is provided by the vendor and can not
be overridden or disabled by user.
In addition, the generated units names contain non-permanent device names, like
dev-sda1.swap, and therefore can't be reliably masked by user.

In other words, the systemd-gpt-auto-generator makes GPT, in some
circumstances, a higher priority than the explicitly given configuration in
fstab:

If GPT contain two swap partitions, with DEFAULT, non-changed "swap" ID, it
will automatically connect both swaps, even if the fstab (or directly in the
native units) explicitly stated to use ONLY ONE of them.


Possible solutions:
1) Make systemd-gpt-auto-generator configurable by user, to filter selected
types of partitions, or ability to swich off GPT reading in main systemd
config.
2) Make way to mask unwanted system-generators, like units or udev-rules.</pre>
