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.

<listitem>
|
|
<para>This parameter controls whether the system shall boot up in volatile mode. Takes a boolean argument, or
|
|
the special value <literal>state</literal>. If false (the default), normal boot mode is selected, the root
|
|
directory and <filename>/var</filename> are mounted as specified on the kernel command line or
|
|
<filename>/etc/fstab</filename>, or otherwise configured. If true, full state-less boot mode is selected. In
|
|
this case the root directory is mounted as volatile memory file system (<literal>tmpfs</literal>), and only
|
|
<filename>/usr</filename> is mounted from the file system configured as root device, in read-only mode. This
|
|
enables fully state-less boots were the vendor-supplied OS is used as shipped, with only default
|
|
configuration and no stored state in effect, as <filename>/etc</filename> and <filename>/var</filename> (as
|
|
well as all other resources shipped in the root file system) are reset at boot and lost on shutdown. If this
|
|
setting is set to <literal>state</literal> the root file system is mounted as usual, however
|
|
<filename>/var</filename> is mounted as a volatile memory file system (<literal>tmpfs</literal>), so that the
|
|
system boots up with the normal configuration applied, but all state reset at boot and lost at shutdown. For details,
