<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>A unit configuration file whose name ends in
|
|
<filename>.swap</filename> 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>Swap units must be named after the devices
|
|
(resp. files) they control. Example: the swap device
|
|
<filename>/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>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>All swap units automatically get the appropriate
|
|
dependencies on the devices (resp. on the mount points
|
|
of the files) they are activated from.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Swap units with
|
|
<varname>DefaultDependencies=</varname> enabled
|
|
implicitly acquire a conflicting dependency to
|
|
<filename>umount.target</filename> so that they are
|
|
deactivated at shutdown.</para>

</refsect1>
|

<refsect1>

<title><filename>fstab</filename></title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Swap units may either be configured via unit
|
|
files, or via <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> (see
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>fstab</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for details).</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>Unless the <option>noauto</option> option is set
|
|
for them all swap units configured in
|
|
<filename>/etc/fstab</filename> are also added as
|
|
requirements to <filename>swap.target</filename>, so
|
|
that they are waited for and activated during
|
|
boot.</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>. The
|
|
options specific to the [Swap] section of swap units
|
|
are the following:</para>

|
<variablelist>

|
|
|
<varlistentry>

<term><varname>What=</varname></term>

<listitem><para>Takes an absolute path

|
|
paging. See
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>swapon</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for details. If this refers to a
|
|
device node, a dependency on the
|
|
respective device unit is
|
|
automatically created. (See

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.device</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>

respective mount unit is automatically
|
|
created. (See
|

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.mount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>

this time with SIGKILL. (See
