Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 11a1589223 tree-wide: drop license boilerplate
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-makefs@.service</filename>,
<filename>systemd-makeswap@.service</filename>, and
<filename>systemd-growfs@.service</filename> are used to implement the
<option>x-systemd.makefs</option> and <option>x-systemd.growfs</option> options
in <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>fstab</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
see <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.mount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
They are instantiated for each device for which the file system or swap structure
needs to be initalized, and for each mount point where the file system needs to
be grown.</para>
<para>These services are started at boot, either right before or right after the
mount point or swap device are used.</para>
<para><filename>systemd-makefs</filename> knows very little about specific file
systems and swap devices, and after checking that the block device does not already
contain a file system or other content, it will execute binaries specific to
each filesystem type (<filename>/sbin/mkfs.*</filename>).</para>
<para><filename>systemd-growfs</filename> knows very little about specific file
systems and swap devices, and will instruct the kernel to grow the mounted
filesystem to full size of the underlying block device. Nevertheless, it needs
to know the
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>ioctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
number specific to each file system, so only certain types are supported.
Currently:
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>ext4</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
btrfs (see
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>btrfs-man5</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>),
<!-- yes, that's what the man page is called. -->
and dm-crypt partitions (see
<citerefentry project='die-net'><refentrytitle>cryptsetup</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>).
</para>
<para>If the creation of a file system or swap device fails, the mount point or
swap is failed too. If the growing of a file system fails, a warning is emitted.
