<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>A unit configuration file whose name ends in <literal>.slice</literal> encodes information about a slice
|
|
unit. A slice unit is a concept for hierarchically managing resources of a group of processes. This management is
|
|
performed by creating a node in the Linux Control Group (cgroup) tree. Units that manage processes (primarily scope
|
|
and service units) may be assigned to a specific slice. For each slice, certain resource limits may be set that
|
|
apply to all processes of all units contained in that slice. Slices are organized hierarchically in a tree. The
|
|
name of the slice encodes the location in the tree. The name consists of a dash-separated series of names, which
|
|
describes the path to the slice from the root slice. The root slice is named <filename>-.slice</filename>. Example:
|
|
<filename>foo-bar.slice</filename> is a slice that is located within <filename>foo.slice</filename>, which in turn
|
|
is located in the root slice <filename>-.slice</filename>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that slice units cannot be templated, nor is possible to add multiple names to a slice unit by creating
|
|
additional symlinks to its unit file.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>By default, service and scope units are placed in
|
|
<filename>system.slice</filename>, virtual machines and containers
|
|
registered with
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-machined</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>

|
handled by
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-logind</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
in <filename>user.slice</filename>. See

|
|
|
<para>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
|
|
slice specific configuration options are configured in
|
|
the [Slice] section. Currently, only generic resource control settings
|
|
as described in
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.resource-control</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> are allowed.
