Required for integration tests to power off on PID 1 crashes. We deprecate systemd.crash_reboot and related options by removing them from the documentation but still parsing them.

<para>The kernel, the programs running in the initrd and in the host system may be configured at boot via
|
|
kernel command line arguments. In addition, various systemd tools look at the EFI variable
|
|
<literal>SystemdOptions</literal> (if available). Both sources are combined, but the kernel command line
|
|
has higher priority. Please note that <emphasis>the EFI variable is only used by systemd tools, and is
|
|
ignored by the kernel and other user space tools</emphasis>, so it is not a replacement for the kernel
|
|
command line.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>For command line parameters understood by the kernel, please

<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 read-only, 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. If
|
|
this setting is set to <literal>overlay</literal> the root file system is set up as
|
|
<literal>overlayfs</literal> mount combining the read-only root directory with a writable
|
|
<literal>tmpfs</literal>, so that no modifications are made to disk, but the file system may be modified
|
|
nonetheless with all changes being lost at reboot. For details, see
