<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><filename>systemd-machine-id-commit.service</filename> is an
|
|
early boot service responsible for committing transient
|
|
<filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> files to a writable disk file
|
|
system. See
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>machine-id</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for more information about machine IDs.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This service is started after
|
|
<filename>local-fs.target</filename> in case
|
|
<filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> is a mount point of its own
|
|
(usually from a memory file system such as
|
|
<literal>tmpfs</literal>) and /etc is writable. The service will
|
|
invoke <command>systemd-machine-id-setup --commit</command>, which
|
|
writes the current transient machine ID to disk and unmount the
|
|
<filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> file in a race-free manner to
|
|
ensure that file is always valid and accessible for other
|
|
processes. See
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-machine-id-setup</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for details.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The main use case of this service are systems where
|
|
<filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> is read-only and initially
|
|
not initialized. In this case, the system manager will generate a
|
|
transient machine ID file on a memory file system, and mount it
|
|
over <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename>, during the early boot
|
|
phase. This service is then invoked in a later boot phase, as soon
|
|
as <filename>/etc/</filename> has been remounted writable and the
|
|
ID may thus be committed to disk to make it permanent.</para>
