This did not really work out as we had hoped. Trying to do this upstream introduced several problems that probably makes it better suited as a downstream patch after all. At any rate, it is not releaseable in the current state, so we at least need to revert this before the release. * by adjusting the path to binaries, but not do the same thing to the search path we end up with inconsistent man-pages. Adjusting the search path too would be quite messy, and it is not at all obvious that this is worth the effort, but at any rate it would have to be done before we could ship this. * this means that distributed man-pages does not make sense as they depend on config options, and for better or worse we are still distributing man pages, so that is something that definitely needs sorting out before we could ship with this patch. * we have long held that split-usr is only minimally supported in order to boot, and something we hope will eventually go away. So before we start adding even more magic/effort in order to make this work nicely, we should probably question if it makes sense at all.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>A unit configuration file whose name ends in
|
|
<literal>.swap</literal> encodes information about a swap device
|
|
or file for memory paging controlled and supervised by
|
|
systemd.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This man page lists the configuration options specific to
|
|
this unit type. See
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for the common options of all unit configuration files. The common
|
|
configuration items are configured in the generic [Unit] and
|
|
[Install] sections. The swap specific configuration options are
|
|
configured in the [Swap] section.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Additional options are listed in
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
|
|
which define the execution environment the
|
|
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>swapon</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
binary is executed in, and in
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.kill</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
|
|
which define the way the processes are terminated, and in
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.resource-control</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
|
|
which configure resource control settings for the processes of the
|
|
service.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Swap units must be named after the devices
|
|
or files they control. Example: the swap device
|
|
<filename noindex='true'>/dev/sda5</filename> must be configured in a
|
|
unit file <filename>dev-sda5.swap</filename>. For details about
|
|
the escaping logic used to convert a file system path to a unit
|
|
name, see
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>All swap units automatically get the appropriate
|
|
dependencies on the devices or on the mount points of the files
|
|
they are activated from.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Swap units with <varname>DefaultDependencies=</varname>
|
|
enabled implicitly acquire a conflicting dependency to
|
|
<filename>umount.target</filename> so that they are deactivated at
|
|
shutdown.</para>

<para>Swap units may either be configured via unit files, or via

<filename>/etc/fstab</filename> (see
|
|
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>fstab</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for details). Swaps listed in <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> will
|
|
be converted into native units dynamically at boot and when the
|
|
configuration of the system manager is reloaded. See
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-fstab-generator</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>

<para>If a swap device or file is configured in both
|

<filename>/etc/fstab</filename> and a unit file, the configuration
|
|
in the latter takes precedence.</para>

|
|
<para>When reading <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> a few special

|
options are understood by systemd which influence how dependencies
|

are created for swap units.</para>

<para>Swap files must include a [Swap] section, which carries

information about the swap device it supervises. A number of
