<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, in
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.kill</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
|
|
which define the way these processes are
|
|
terminated, and in
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.resource-control</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
|
|
which configure resource control settings for these processes of the
|
|
unit.</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>. Note that swap
|
|
units cannot be templated, nor is possible to add multiple names to a swap unit by creating additional symlinks to
|
|
it.</para>

<title>Automatic Dependencies</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>All swap units automatically get the
|
|
<varname>BindsTo=</varname> and <varname>After=</varname>
|
|
dependencies on the device units or the mount units of the files
|
|
they are activated from.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Swap units with <varname>DefaultDependencies=</varname> in the <literal>[Unit]</literal> section enabled
|
|
implicitly acquire a <varname>Conflicts=</varname> and an <varname>After=</varname> dependency on
|
|
<filename>umount.target</filename> so that they are deactivated at shutdown, unless
|
|
<varname>DefaultDependencies=no</varname> is specified.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Additional implicit dependencies may be added as result of
|
|
execution and resource control parameters as documented in
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
and
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.resource-control</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>

<title><filename>fstab</filename></title>
|
|
|
|
<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>
|
|
for details about the conversion.</para>
|
|
|
|
<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>

<title>Options</title>

<para>Swap files must include a [Swap] section, which carries
|
|
information about the swap device it supervises. A number of
|
|
options that may be used in this section are shared with other

|
unit types. These options are documented in
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
