See + systemd.unit5 + 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. + + Swap units must be named after the devices they + control. Example: the swap device + /dev/sda5 must be configured in a + unit file dev-sda5.swap. For + details about the escaping logic used to convert a + file system path to a unit name see + systemd.unit5. + + + + <filename>fstab</filename> + + Swap units may either be configured via unit + files, or via /etc/fstab (see + fstab5 + for details). + + If a swap device or file is configured in both + /etc/fstab and a unit file the + configuration in the latter takes precedence. + + + + Options + + Swap files must include a [Swap] section, which + carries information about the swap device it + supervises. The options specific to the [Swap] section + of swap units are the following: + + + + + What= + Takes an absolute path + of a device node or file to use for + paging. See + swapon8 + for details. If this refers to a + device node a dependency on the + respective device unit is + automatically created. (See + systemd.device5 + for more information.) If this refers + to a file a dependency on the + respective mount unit is automatically + created. (See + systemd.mount5 + for more information.) This option is + mandatory. + + + + Priority= + + Swap priority to use + when activating the swap device or + file. This takes an integer. This + setting is optional. + + + + + + See Also + + systemd8, + systemctl8, + systemd.unit5, + systemd.device5, + systemd.mount5, + swapon8 + + + + -- cgit v1.2.3
