Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the extended header to avoid any doubt. I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><filename>systemd-fstab-generator</filename> is a generator
|
|
that translates <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> (see
|
|
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>fstab</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for details) into native systemd units early at boot and when
|
|
configuration of the system manager is reloaded. This will
|
|
instantiate mount and swap units as necessary.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <varname>passno</varname> field is treated like a simple
|
|
boolean, and the ordering information is discarded. However, if
|
|
the root file system is checked, it is checked before all the
|
|
other file systems.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>See
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.mount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
and
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.swap</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for more information about special <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>
|
|
mount options this generator understands.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>One special topic is handling of symbolic links. Historical init
|
|
implementations supported symlinks in <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>.
|
|
Because mount units will refuse mounts where the target is a symbolic link,
|
|
this generator will resolve any symlinks as far as possible when processing
|
|
<filename>/etc/fstab</filename> in order to enhance backwards compatibility.
|
|
If a symlink target does not exist at the time that this generator runs, it
|
|
is assumed that the symlink target is the final target of the mount.</para>

<para>If true the generator ensures

|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-volatile-root.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
is run as part of the initial RAM disk ("initrd"). This service changes the mount table before transitioning to
|
|
the host system, so that a volatile memory file system (<literal>tmpfs</literal>) is used as root directory,
|
|
with only <filename>/usr</filename> mounted into it from the configured root file system, in read-only
|
|
mode. This way the system operates in fully stateless mode, with all configuration and state reset at boot and
|
|
lost at shutdown, as <filename>/etc</filename> and <filename>/var</filename> will be served from the (initially
|
|
unpopulated) volatile memory file system.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If set to <option>state</option> the generator will leave the root
|
|
directory mount point unaltered, however will mount a <literal>tmpfs</literal> file system to
|
|
<filename>/var</filename>. In this mode the normal system configuration (i.e. the contents of
|
|
<literal>/etc</literal>) is in effect (and may be modified during system runtime), however the system state
|
|
(i.e. the contents of <literal>/var</literal>) is reset at boot and lost at shutdown.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that in none of these modes the root directory, <filename>/etc</filename>, <filename>/var</filename>
|
|
or any other resources stored in the root file system are physically removed. It's thus safe to boot a system
|
|
that is normally operated in non-volatile mode temporarily into volatile mode, without losing data.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that enabling this setting will only work correctly on operating systems that can boot up with only
|
|
<filename>/usr</filename> mounted, and are able to automatically populate <filename>/etc</filename>, and also
|
|
<filename>/var</filename> in case of <literal>systemd.volatile=yes</literal>.</para></listitem>
