<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><filename>systemd-volatile-root.service</filename> is a service that replaces the root directory with a
|
|
volatile memory file system (<literal>tmpfs</literal>), mounting the original (non-volatile)
|
|
<filename>/usr/</filename> inside it read-only. This way, vendor data from <filename>/usr/</filename> is available as
|
|
usual, but all configuration data in <filename>/etc/</filename>, all state data in <filename>/var/</filename> and all
|
|
other resources stored directly under the root directory are reset on boot and lost at shutdown, enabling fully
|
|
stateless systems.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This service is only enabled if full volatile mode is selected, for example by specifying
|
|
<literal>systemd.volatile=yes</literal> on the kernel command line. This service runs only in the initrdyes,
|
|
before the system transitions to the host's root directory. Note that this service is not used if
|
|
<literal>systemd.volatile=state</literal> is used, as in that mode the root directory is
|
|
non-volatile.</para>
