    <title>Description</title>

    <para><filename>systemd-veritysetup@.service</filename> is a service responsible for setting up verity
    protection block devices. It should be instantiated for each device that requires verity
    protection.</para>

    <para>At early boot and when the system manager configuration is reloaded kernel command line configuration for
    verity protected block devices is translated into <filename>systemd-veritysetup@.service</filename> units by
